Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Where were the neighborhood Italian residents
Grant Park is for Americans. Columbus should have been placed in Columbus Park (1933). ?
Columbus was never an American. ?
OUR FEAR SHOULD NOT BE COVID, IT SHOULD BE AGAINST THE DEMOCRATIC COMMUNISTS. This virus was brought in by the Communists as a pre-cursor, to have a psychological effect on All People in the USA of Fear!
This was planned by the communists and they are winning!
Let your fears subside and get out and Fight Back against the Communists! Those with pre-existing conditions, choose your battle, but the rest of us, Against Communism, BLM, Antifa, need to push FEAR out of the way and Fight for America!
Wow! Italian-Americans and all Americans should be outraged! Yet, how many voted for this derelict mayor? Elections have consequences.
Chicago Police..
It is time you all abide by your Oath!
Stand Down to Lightfoot. Protect the people and yourselves from The Tyranny of Lightfoot the governor, communists BLM,
Racism against italian americans.
The City is no longer run by any elected officials or the people. It is run now by the screaming and violent “protesters” and BLM. To remove the symbol of Italian American history, because some do not “like it”? Sad.
I am not sure Lightfoot and the rest of our elected officials remember that …there are other people living here too?! Others with heritage, history and pride in their communities.
Then to claim it’s removal is for the public safety and do it under the cover of darkness. Wow. So disappointed in our government and country today.
Blm will not stop. They want total control. We must stand up to them. They are terrorists.
Where is the Rally? Post here!
I’m sick of this too!
Where is everyone against this Commie Mayor, Governor, and BLM
Well, you have the local editorial pages making excuses for the derelict mayor and Chicago’s Democrats. Chicago has problems so great I’m not sure they can be fixed without significant change in leadership.
