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.

Lightfoot went to Law School? And passed the Bar? Dobbs decision was simply that nowhere in the constitution is there any “right” to abortion and that the original Roe v Wade decision was based upon fantasy twisted irrational interpretation of the constitution. Period. So the abortion question goes back to the states since it is not a federal issue.
“My body/my choice,” except when it comes to the largest involuntary clinical trial in history. No informed consent, just ‘shut up and take it.’!
Only time will tell the true toll of the jab mandates: illness, lost livelihoods, long-term disabilities, deaths, infertility – the possibilities are endless.
Sad, sad chickens who got caught up in the jab frenzy. Woe to the powers that be who coerced an unwitting population. It’s on their heads, but people have to deal with the sword of Damocles hanging over the jabbed.
A triumph for legal and constitutional illiteracy
But Illinois is clearly a “right to bodily autonomy” state. Autonomy is autonomy.
I thought all that Dobbs did was give power to states to decide. Illinois already decided.
The significance here is that it’s Chicago, not conservatives, arguing for extension of the Dobbs decision to reduce the right to bodily autonomy. The Dobbs opinion expressly rejected that interpretation, but that apparently wasn’t good enough for the city. Outrageous hypocrisy for Lightfoot’s lawyers to be arguing for the very principle they wrongly tried to claim that Dobbs stood for as part of their fear mongering. Props to the author of the article for picking this up.
