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.

Today’s left knows it cannot win without silencing its opposition, though it has done so effectively and is now in control.

Kass now has a blog-site. Maybe he can achieve the effectiveness of former Second City Cop blog-site, but I doubt it, still too much a political animal swayed by likes of Lightfoot.
Kass supported Lori, he’s a RINO clown. He was great but became a politician.

“Intolerance” is the new “unity.” It worked wonders for Mao.
This is really pathetic, but who would expect anything more from the Reader?
