Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
The state’s existing buyout program for its own pensions is the precedent for Chicago, which should be a warning: Look out for similar exaggerated claims and shoddy analysis.

This must be tough on all the Illinois lefties who ran out and bought Teslas, thinking they could brag they were among the first ones in the state to buy these wondrous vehicles.

This is nothing new. A few years ago, I witnessed Soros-funded people quietly recruiting “paid activists” on a college campus. I never looked at a protest the same again. (I was told they were Soros-funded people and I have no reason to doubt the person who told me)
So the fickle Dems have decided the EV’s aren’t the savior of the planet when they disagree with the manufacturers politics. Don’t let them know that Joe ordered a large quantity of Teslas for government vehicles.
😮 Obviously these are Hate Crimes. Penalty should be prison and assets sold to repay any costs of the damage caused.
Lock em up!
