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.

Where was her dignity and respect for Italian Americans as regards to the Christopher Columbus statue and the derogatory comments she made. Typical piece of garbage that needs to be thrown out.
Back to the farm? Is this a dogwhistle for the racist term ‘redneck’?
The reality is that JB and LL think that half the voters are wrong and don’t understand the benefits of crime in the streets. Until the urban voter in Chicago realizes that 900+ homicides a year is unacceptable and vote to stop it, nothing will change!
This Hob Goblin needs to speak for herself. She does not represent the State.
LOL mayor Big Stick says we are Illinois. LOL governor JB used a similar line during his Covid briefings only to blame southern counties and the suburbs for our problems.
So, dignity and respect is putting migrants on CTA busses to the suburbs? Republicans present a picture of city and state that is out of touch with reality. Don’t connect other cities in the state to the hell hole you and JB created in chicago! The two of you are morons and can’t realize what you have done, that’s reality.
Lori needs to go back to Ohio
she belongs in prison
IL/Chicago needs a massive 180. Everything is going way down hill. Lightfoot, Foxx, Preckwinkle, Pritzker, Rauol—we have the worst of the worst.
It’s like they emptied an asylum and they all migrated to Chicago.
Back to the farm you racist bi-ch send you back to the cotton fa-m
