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.

One brain washes the other.
Per Garland Chicago violence is an ongoing TRAGEDY? I thought a tragedy was a serious accident or natural disaster! This guy’s soft in the head. A Tragedy is when a building collapses on the inhabitants, not a feral shooting you in the head for fun. Like someone is blameless! It’s a murderous rampage ya dope!
This new dummycrat gun trafficking mantra is a joke. Lori and the Kim and the rest of the enablers refuse to address the real cause which is the south and west side communities. Lori knows she has to play nice with the criminals in order to be re-elected. It worked with Foxx so she’s playing the give minorities everything for re-election.
Lori and Kimmie are in the gangs, belong to them.
PS: The more you see of Merrick Garland, the more you realize Mitch McConnell did America a HUGE favor. Garland is a political hack.
I hope Garland tells Lightfoot and Foxx to 1) Stop attacking the CPD 2) Get criminals off the street by putting them in jail. It’s not rocket science.
No it’s gun trafficking. Lol
Disgusting, Lori told President Trump stay out of Chicago’s and my Fuc-ing business now she’s kissing Biden’s ass. Go away little girl your way way over your head black racist.
Yeah, Merrick Garland is going to strike fear into the hearts of Chicago’s timid gang bangers. Garland probably had his lunch money taken from him every day on the playground, by girl scouts. The Biden plan of going after gun runners is laughable. They’ve got more guns than they know what to do with, and the CPD isn’t eager to arrest anyone since the woke crowd painted a target on their back. Chicago is going to get exactly what it deserves.
Who cares! Lori, Kim, Toni Fix this mess you have created!
Be leaders for once!!!!!
Lori just wants more money from senile joe to give her permanent victim class constituents more no show violence interrupter jobs that are nothing but campaign workers for Lori. She refuses still to hold the bangers accountable and of course she blames trump who offered help and she said F U. Who is the gutless media so much on her side?
Wow, coming to clean out his late parents home in Lincolnwood. Probably a DOJ Lear jet to Palwaukee so he doesn’t set foot and risk being shot in Chicago where murders are plummeting according to the CCSA!
Hey Kim! Question: If murders are being misrepresented why is Lori asking for help and Biden sending Chicago the best and brightest from the DOJ? Everything is just fine won’t cut it!
