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.

We all know how much contempt city pols have for the Chicago police. Fortunately they do not get to spread their contempt to federal ICE agents. Those city pols may not back their police employees but the Federal authorities still do and will not allow this so leftist lunatics can harass those same agents.
Those same politicians have created the situation that now requires ICE agents. Sanctuary cities and states are blatantly illegal.
Biden’s open boarder is the most destructive event perpetrated on the American people ever and he’s too much a grifter and out of it to know what he has done to the United States. This problem will go on for decades – but we are encouraged with the efforts of the current President, ICE and Law Enforcement. These liberal Dem morons here in Illinois need to shut up and sit down – the rational grown-ups are running this show.
Screw them
Does that include blm , antifa and all the peaceful protestors who wear masks ???
Does that also apply to antifa , blm and ALL THE OTHER PEACEFUL PROTESTORS who wear MASKS ??
Now. Now. Get it right. The Democrat’s AKA Communist’s Brownshirt Intimidation Army are ‘fiery but mostly peaceful” protestors.
Will the state enforce doxxing laws and prosecute those who dox ICE and other federal agents?
Message to you Raoul and all Springfield goons (Politicians ) you to Pritzker when you take off your masks and start representing the people ( U.S. citizens) of Illinois then maybe just maybe there can be some sort of agreement, until then pound sand.
