-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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.

MMMBop. MMMBop.
Columbus is groovy.
I hope to portray him in a movie.
MMMBop. MMMBop.
I love praying to Saint Christopher Columbus! I say the Hail Chris and Our Chris prayers daily.
Keep all the statues.
If they want to add new ones fine.
I can’t stop crying about my beloved Chris Columbus. He was such a good man. He should be a saint. I pray to Chris Columbus daily. You should to.
Any truth to the rumor the statues will be replaced by one of Grady and Beetlejuice?
Those, for sure will be torn down!
Columbus didn’t discover America. Columbus never even set foot in North America. Columbus never accomplished his goal of sailing around the world. Columbus didn’t prove the earth was round either. Just what are we celebrating with his statue?
Boats without oars vs. cannibals
Columbus ate people because he was hungry. He liked looking at men too.
Soon the only ‘history’ Chicago will have is that of violence and intolerance. I suggest the Columbus statue be replaced with a looter throwing a brick.
Meanwhile….since appeasing the flakes and wackos on the left by removing the Columbus statue….the geniuses on the left decided now to vandalize the Chicago Blackhawks monuments with #landback. It never ends with the stupidity.
Replace Columbus with a Statue of Jeffery Epstein.
Columbus was one of the worst men in history in many ways.
The statues are long gone. They will never return. Lori, Sophia King , the Grant Park advisory council and the progressive and socialist caucus have made it totally clear that they will give into the blm domestic terrorist Marxist organization who threatened and extorted to get the statues removed. Lori only wants statues of women and people of color. She is a total racist discriminating against what white people want.
Win major offices again and you wonderful Italian Americans will have your statues again. ?
Lori made it clear that the only statues should be women and people of color.
Then, you won’t even try. Frank Annunzio, Marty Russo, Aldo DeAngelis and John D’Arco would be so disappointed in you. Your boy, Christopher Columbus is crying right now. ☹️?
You are an anti american pro domestic terrorist Marxist organization BLM supporter.
True believer, no, that’s what you are. The Italian American politicians all supported Columbus, especially Frank Annunzio. ?
Try winning some elections, before you criticize others. ?
Columbus had nothing to do with the USA. ❗?
They and other Whites have left Chicago. Increasingly a Mexican state.
The politicians I named have mostly died by now. There’s Vito Marzullo, Marco Domico and Bill Banks too. ?
