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.

Why can’t ICE just use some flashing lights on their transport vans and deem them emergency vehicles?
I think all of these bums should have their public assistance terminated once they’re arrested.
Will be interesting to see the arrest records of those in this astroturf operation.
So you standing in front of an ICE vehicle means they have to stop their work? I don’t think so.
Keep shouting through that big, beautiful fence while everyone else is out working for a living. You’re accomplishing so much.
Arrest them daily too.
Actively seeking out confrontation is not “ protesting “. They get what they give.
More pepper balls and tear gas, might need a bulldozer as well.
Soylent Green solution, bring out the scoops!
Actual Protesting is supposed to be peaceful.
If you nutballs decide to fight with the Police/Law Enforcement/ICE you get what you get. Law Enforcement is not required to take care of you when you purposefully fight with them.
Oh please show up everyday to get hauled away. Do it, do it, do it!
