-- 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.

The main point: taxpayers are forbidden from access to public information.
So…
The CPS run by black people, is discriminating against black principals…?
I thought black on black acrimony could not exist…?
Also…
The optics of having a ‘white’ man in Pfleger, marching with him, is not missed by this sharp reader…
I believe the good reverend identifies as black.
The Race Card, don’t leave home without it. Issued at birth, no expiration date, unlimited usage. Use it often, use it randomly, use it whenever you want.
Us Northsiders are being discriminated against. High property taxes but the cops are diverted to the South and West side.
A full accounting of the racial breakdown of ALL employees’ of CPS is needed. I have a hunch thou.
Here’s some demographics of CPS.

Thanks.
Who and where exactly are the white people people discriminating against black principals?
Todays lesson in leftism…
Once you understand that their ‘perception’ is their ‘reality’, it all starts to make sense…
Crump is the worst of the race clown frauds, grievance grifters, and fake racism hoaxsters — a total embarrassment to the legal profession
Yep, and I just love that Crump’s cashing in at the Chicago Public School System’s expense.
Which is, of course, now joined at the hip with the Chicago Teacher’s Union. And the Mayor’s office.
I can’t imagine CPS firing a Black principal over anything trivial or unproven. Just don’t see those folks, even with Lightfoot as mayor, leaning into that sort of right hook.
Be interesting to watch how this plays out. I doubt they stand up to Crump.
