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.

Impasse, oh that’s wonderful! Is Impasse French for FU? Hey Lori, take a break from your break and pay attention. When the spotlight fades over the Stans, you can expect more unsolicited help. Hey Lori are the Divy mobs still descending on random people? How about environmental issues. All the Divy bikes in park lagoons could accelerate bodies decomposing? They just go into open status?
Honestly, whose surprised by this.
Taliban would be better at this point.
There is nothing worse than a CTU member, except maybe the parent who hasn’t bothered to either home school or secure a private school for their kid. These Chicago parents are almost just as bad just on a smaller scale by letting their own kids continue to be ground up in the CPS wood chipper.
Shocking that the leeches of CTU don’t want to go back to work. The best thing that could happen for Chicago children’s education is for CTU to be tossed to the curb and it’s members out of a job. Realistically, would they receive less education while CPS hires replacements? Bust this union now. CTU is the very worst of public sector union parasitic scum.
Fire them all CPS Enough is enough!!!!!
Remember they’re Educators! Pay me to stay home? I’m all in!
How many CTU members are vaccinated?
