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.

Because we have a lawless society in Illinois, do you folks not know or see this?
I thought Business Community Leaders were smarter than this.
The only way to resolve these issues, sell your business! Until this effects politicians directly and painfully, expect little change or any action. After all the smoke settles it’s just systemic racism. Business leaders have silently watched and supported these animals. Surprised?
Keep voting democrat chicago and you will see no change!
Make better choices next election!
People getting arrested for serious crimes in Cook County are the wrong color in the mind of the racist States Attorney Foxx. Too many POC committing crime does not fit her agenda so release them back into the community to cause more mayhem and then she can blame racist statues.
There is ‘systemic racism’ and it’s being practiced by Kim Foxx and her cohort.
“Chicago Business Community Leaders Meet With State’s Attorney, Demand Answers About Why Repeat Offenders Seem To Get Back On Streets Easily”
Chicago Business Community Leaders must be complete f***ing morons.
Is there anyone else out there that doesn’t know the answer to that question?
Lil Kim don’t take kindly to people demanding answers. They best be quiet or the next “peaceful” demonstration will happen on their block. Anything valuable will disappear and businesses will be destroyed. It’s the Lil Kim way.
Reap what you sow Chicago! Your votes alone gave Kim Foxx the slight edge over the Republican and this is your just deserts.
