If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

There was no “hearing” going on. There were almost 50,000 opposition witness slips filed and yet the vote was party line as if this is a partisan issue. They spit on everyone with this vote. If you take away someone’s constitutional right – you don’t deserve to be a representative of citizens.
Cap Fax comments on this exact issue can be summarized as follows: There are 50,000 opposition votes out of 12 million residents in the state. You can move to a red state now. Don’t let the door hit your butt on the way out.
Which is probably where most of them live anyway.
If you disagree with the Bill and have not filed a witness slip – you have until this afternoon. As of now – 38,660 oppose – 523 propone – and 376 no position. Lets keep the momentum going.
Cap Fax and crew says this opposition means nothing. It’s nothing more than a Devore’s facebook organized grift they say.
Go ahead – push the remaining (taxpaying) people out of the state. Illinois is nuts.
They want you gone. Open up your eyes. Only those who 100% agree with the regime are welcome here.
I wonder if you worked in a profession that delivered packages and letters to everyone in the country every day coming in contact with many people, if they can be fired too? Or would they be exempt?
File witness slips for SB1169 NOW! Truth seeker comments tell you what to do.
The wording is under House Amendment 002
Does this set a precedent that negates State Constitution protections of public worker pension and benefits entitlements?
hahahaha
You’re grasping for straws there, Susan.
Hearing moved to tomorrow at 3:00 PM – These Democrat legislators think you have no religious freedoms or right to conscience when it comes to COVID and who knows what else if they succeed.
