Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Johnson vs Abbott in an IQ test. Johnson losing by 83 points.
BJ, you (a former CPS educater) are being schooled by a Texan!
Abbot is making you (more precisely — us taxpayers) pay to play “Sanctuary City.”
Governor Abbott is a hero. He’s bringing visibility to this awful Biden policy of open borders. At the same time he is trying to protect his own state from the thousands that illegally come into this country on a daily basis. Brando should just shut up and do what he promised as the leader of a sanctuary city in a sanctuary state. But sadly, Brando isn’t very bright, so expect more of the worthless word salad from the doofus.
