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.

Clarence, I regret to inform you that do to fools like you and your
friends @ BLM and the Democrat Party, it’s already too late to now worry about
race and culture matters which you and your ilk love to shove in Whiteys face 24/7 365.
no we need to turn up the heat, LIGHT THAT FIRE!
Why not Clarence?
You are one of the arsonists…
Says the man holding a blow torch since he arrived in Chicago and couldn’t find the Steel mills.

“embrace and encourage inclusive viewpoints and perspectives”
Yes, believe me, my community will be pushing for pro-life agenda at every opportunity, including board meetings, outside board members’ homes, at their places of employment, screaming at them in the grocery stores, everywhere they go, they will be reminded what inclusive really means. I can’t wait for this to backfire spectacularly!
You really think that would happen?
You really think the side of decency behaves that way, even when justified?
I wish it were true.
