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.

A post on the Nextdoor app in Dupage county characterized the commissioners comments as racist. The post eventually was pulled, probably because everyone was commenting that the commissioners comments were spot on. Just about every post relating to crime gets pulled.

She’s black and does everything for the blacks, that’s why they vote for her. Foxx has made it perfectly clear that she will not prosecute most blacks. Foxx is allowing blanks to commit crimes with no prosecution. She is the ultimate racist.
