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.

So Governor, you’ll let Illinois law enforcement work with Immigration officials to deport those who have broken “the law of the United States and has been for quite a long time”? Because “undocumented” means they broke the law to enter.
LOL this is totally different than what he was saying a few weeks ago…if he doesn’t want illegal, violent criminals in the state, why does he prohibit local law enforcement from working with ICE? Like I said, I think law enforcement is actually working with ICE behind the scenes in a supportive rol, but can’t say so publicly for fear of a Democrat backlash.

The Chicago folks will never know when it’s coming and it will be HUGE, nothing they can prepare for, multiple raids at the same time…
JB is starting to fine tune his definition of “ his people “ in his usual doublespeaking, back peddling Dem style.
Priceless. Mr. Safe-T Act reduces public safety with lax bail and prosecution policies that enable violent criminals to remain on the street and now he’s ok deporting illegals but won’t remove our own criminals from the street.
JB states he on board with feds rounding up the criminal migrants in Chicago but apparently is not going to offer state assistance. Or would he offer state assistance outside Chicago? I guess Brando & crew are OK with letting the criminal migrants stay? They’re “welcome” in standalone Chicago?. …all while its my understanding mayor Adams in NYC and other sanctuary cities are now apparently on board assisting ICE to round-up the criminal migrants, similar to modification of Chicago sanctuary ordinance Alder Lopez & Tabares were proposing
