-- 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.

Mr. Ford, police wouldn’t be in our communities, if some or most knew how to act right. ?
Ms. Lightford, don’t even try it. Blacks have been choosing history books, in Maywood, Bellwood and Broadview for decades, including your attendance at Proviso East. ?
Racism is freewill. A Black can hate Whites. A White can hate Blacks. No history course can ever change that, because it’s free will. ?
The black legislators want to impose more curriculum on locally elected school boards, instead of leaving the matter to local control.
In other words another unfunded mandate from State to local, as new curriculum takes time to develop and costs money to implement.
By the way we are in the 90 day window for school board candidates to gather signatures to get on the April 2020 ballot.
