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.

Yeah, that sounds right. Let’s have Chicago organizers and officials tell ICE when and where to show up.
That sounds like exactly the sort of place that ICE should be at . If the organizers are so worried about ICE, there must be a lot of illegals running around at their event.
Go get them boys!
Obeying the law, and enforcing the law, would be a start toward making Chicago a great city.
They’ll need chiropractic tents because alot of them will get stiff necks looking over their shoulders
Yeah, an illegal arrested for storing a body stored in a container full of bleach in his back yard, several child molesters, gang members and garden variety criminals rounded up by ICE, but ICE is the villain picking on these nice people.
There is no logic involving anything the lunatic Leftists are talking about.
It’s the WOKE MEDIA instilling the fear ICE will show up .
Of course. ICE could easily target a few dozen neighborhoods and pick up illegals any time they choose. They don’t need to wait for a street festival. But media would rather sow fear.
Hey if it throws ICE on their event , so be it!
Hope ICE is at the entrance, have the busses ready.
So, I guess this woman is saying this country should leave the 20M-30M illegal immigrants alone. I think many of us wouldn’t care as much except for the crazy-high cost to the taxpaying citizens for such inaction.
