-- 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.

Oh Please, Chicago Tribune, pushing the propaganda!
The king doesn’t care how he endangers our lives and makes life miserable. Electronic voting machines and mail in ballots have his back.
“The more Pritzker wants that house on Pennsylvania Avenue, the more he might be motivated to perform as governor of Illinois.”
I would have thought winning the governor’s race in 2018 would have been motivation to do the job he was elected to do.
Hard to imagine Pritzker being able to change the crime, corruption, fiscal deficits perception in two years. Madigan and Burke trials coming up, repercussion from SafeT act and increasing deficits are all coming and he has done nothing to change those problems, if not increase them. Voters outside IL are not as gullible as IL voters.
LOL, he’s going to change crime, corruption and fiscal deficits: for the worse!
Pritzker doesn’t care. He has performed perfectly for the Communist Democrat, globalist agenda to finish off America and drive America to a 3rd world country. Only political criminals and unions will benefit.
Pritzker may have presidential daydreams but his policies have been NIGHTMARES for Illinois taxpayers.
