-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Climate activists danced in animal costumes during a protest in the Loop on Friday. A group of about 200 climate activists from the Chicago area and Madison, Wisc., among other places, marched through Chicago’s financial district.
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.

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 should come up to Leftist Evanston, if they replaced our elected officials up here it would be a vast improvement, lol…
In the picture it looks like all geriatric clowns doing their dance. Don’t these “adults” have anything better to do with their time?
No, we pay them to sit on their ass. No doubt half of them are probably receiving a pension or two from “public service”. If you want to know how we got here, take a close look at that picture. That is the enemy.
These people are friggin lunatics.
They should move to Sri Lanka where they embraced the green
Well I can see why Illinois job openings are not being filled
“furry” wear should be maditory state wide!! Amendment 1 can make it happen!!…we’d all be soooooooooo much happier
So I’m asking for a friend, are those costume people nucking futs?
This looks like a deranged attention-seeking theater group.
How long did it take the anti-carbon climate protesters to walk from Madison WI?
Hmmm……Ya know let’s think about this. Are all democrats deranged asswholes? Write that down and look at it before the midterms. Never vote for a democrat and remember the Trojan horse! Do Lori’s guards go into the toilet with her?
Looks like someone forgot to lock the front door at the looney bin. The look on those faces tells you everything you need to know. Get those folks back on their meds please.
The people have gone mad-The city has gone mad-The state has gone mad-The country has gone mad-The world has gone mad. Other than that everything is hunky-dory.
Did those homeless fellows get to keep the onesies after the performance was over?
Hmmmm…….we’re all the plate spinners off that day? Let’s play dress up!
