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.

The pro-lifers are a visible reminder of defiance against progressive values, so therefore, it must be crushed.
But hey, we win some, we lose some. While all abortions are sad and murderous, Abortions in Chicago are likely 99.9% Democrats killing their own progeny, and for our future, it means fewer Democrat voters: furries, trans folk, LGBTQP+, AWFLs, and so on. Leave baby making to the red blooded Americans.
It’s so much easier to prosecute an 80yr old grandmother praying the rosary at an abortion clinic than to prosecute a violent street criminal, drug dealer or gang members. Violent crime? Grandma has her rosary out…….SHOTS FIRED….SHOTS FIRED……grandma is down.
Crime is up 50% from 2021 and her focus is on potential pro-life protestors and restorative “justice”. So just like the mayor’s office, the state’s attorney has gone from bad to worse.
God save us from another progressive, upper middle class, woman, even if she is the Cook County State’s Attorney. I guess this shows where her priorities are and violent crime is not one of them.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Chicago’s cop hating, abortion loving and otherwise just plain wrong staff could rival Joe’s cabinet of people that shouldn’t be in public office.
My takeaway from this article is that Burke is evil.
Yes in the peoples’ republic of filthinois, baby murderers are heroes. People who want to save babies are criminals. If there was one absolute issue that points to the total moral decay and failure of your state, it’s this one. You vote for filth, because you support filth.
Criminals released and then going to court over and over again generates money for the state. Abortions sanctioned by IL generate money for the state. Legalized pot shops generate money for the state. Illegal immigrants generate money for the states. The Dems are whole heartedly, without regard for the consequences, in favor of these ruinous policies. For the state.
