-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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. Audio here.
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.

That the Sun Times gives a Marxist such as the law and order, America hating scum like Ayers a voice only heightens my satisfaction at them going broke.
I read the headline and wondered who on earth gives this unpunished, unrepentant criminal the time of day and then saw it was the Sun Times. When I worked in the Loop, I would buy that rag to do the patternless crossword puzzle (it’s only worthwhile feature) on the train ride home, but only if they reduced the price to a quarter.
The only reason Bill Ayers did not go to jail is because his father was the head of Com Ed if I remember correctly. Makes me wonder if Madigan and Ayers know each other.
This terrorist scum will be dead soon. I look forward to emptying my bowels upon Bill Ayers grave.
According to HeyJackass almost all the murders are done by Black followed by Hispanic then White or other. In the White or other there were 5 murders and 146 Black and and 33 Hispanic as of today. Most of the murders are black on black.
Question? Where is the Rev. Al Sharpton?? Not one peep out of him. Did he die? But will he resurrect himself if a white cop shoots and kills a young black kid. What can be done? This is in most every large urban cities across the U.S. 9 dead so far this weekend and counting.
On heyjackass.com currently 97% of all shootings and homicides involve blacks or hispanics, the remaining 3% involve people of ALL OTHER RACES COMBINED. An absolute staggering statistic showing who is responsible for violent crime. Visit CWBChicago.com and see the crime reports posted there. Try and find a White face and you’d be lucky to find one. So the problem is……
Problem is the Norwegians? LOL Seriously the same here on local news in Rockford. The criminals shown are mostly black and the white seem to be wanted or arrested for being drunk/domestic disputes with a few for murders but not that many. How do we fix this mess? Arresting people by the dozen will only cause riots. Not arresting and letting them go will cause more problems. If people take the law into their own hands they will be prosecuted to the full extent that is possible.
Tell the “MASSES” to stop committing crimes!!!!!! and really——bill ayers????????
Let’s increase the prison population by throwing Ayers’ worthless a$$ in there!
Prisons are still open? Who’d a thunk it.
Death penalty now give only 1 appeal criminal looses Appel dead next day at midnight
How about we take them to the Mexican border and release them like Mexico is doing here…
Don’t come back.
Mass incarceration? Check today’s news. 4 men jump out of car, 29 shot and 5 killed. And that doesn’t include muggings, burglaries, assaults-a lot of which go unreported. Seems like we’re not locking up enough perpetrators, let alone releasing more from Stateville.
The Roundhouse needs to be reopened and filled with all the gang bangers.
Quoting a former Domestic Terrorist really lends the article credibility.
WE may recall the domestic terrorism Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn engaged in; more current generations being taught by these radicals do not know their level of depravity.
And the sun times printed this????? 😡
Talk about a waste of oxygen.
How about not committing crimes, or glorifying criminals?
ST publishing Bill Ayers columns, who would-ah thunk!!! Dummy me, I didn’t know Weather Underground bomber Ayers was a retired U of I professor? I guess he’s kicken back with a giant Tier 1 pension, writing columns about handing out table scrapes to felons while he enjoys his guaranteed $millions$ on the taxpayers dime….classic. $$$EQUITY$$ Illinois style!!!
