40% increase last year coupled with 40% over that increase this year. That is what investment professionals call compounding. It does not bode well for property values in Chicago/Cook County!

Meanwhile, George Soros turns his empire over to his son, Alex, who promises to increase funding to his father’s progressive and Marxist organizations to further divide this country.
One of the first things you learn in war strategy is to divide and conquer. Thus far, the spoils of Illinois are going to the victors. Illinois voters claim they want this through their votes. Well they certainly got what they wanted.

What I like about all the Wirepoints articles, this one and the education ones and others, is the fact Wirepoints uses their data, not data from a source that might be questioned. If the report on crime came from elsewhere it could be questioned as not being accurate. Mark taught me at least to go to the source, which in my case was financial reports. I didn’t take his word for it when I decided to move, I looked at the CAFR’s and bond offerings. They paint a starkly different picture of what’s really going on.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
