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.

So please let me try and figure this out. BLM hordes of looters, rioters and arsonists cause 10’s of millions in damages to businesses large and small and not a peep from the ‘woke ‘ generations or demoncrat politicians who call all of this chaos “peaceful protests ‘ yet when the shoe is in the other foot where the “woke” artist crowd feels the same pain it’s done by a bunch of “jagoffs”. The place where the “woke snowflake liberal” crowd live is at the corner of Hypocrisy St and Double Standard Ave.
Too Bad, So Sad
A lot of people are outraged and saddened by the removal of the Columbus Statue, other statues and the destruction of Downtown Chicago.
George Floyd couldn’t breathe because he was having a drug overdose for mthe massive amounts of multiple drugs that he had willingly ingested. He wasnt killed by police; he died of a drug overdose. The jagoff that runs Briegeport Art gallery needss to correct his pretty little artsy craftsy display to be consistent with the facts.
Ed has done some amazing things for the neighborhood. Its too bad he’s blinded by the BLM lies and deception.
Marxist on Morgan and Commies on Halsted
The rioting, burning and looting is encouraged by the domestic terrorist Marxist organization blm. When the show is on the other foot, it’s outrage. Sounds like a double standard to me. The blm terrorists think they can continue their reign of terror unanswered, that’s not the way it’s going to be. They need to stop or they will pay dearly.
