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.

Contact tracing is just another patronage job intended as taxpayer funded reparations to the permanent victim class. There is no legitimacy to it. It’s just New Democrat minority precinct captains to steal votes at election time.
It is another form of big brother.
Calling it now: contact tracing will be yet another one from the bag of dirty tricks that they’ll use to extend the lockdown.
What does it take to be a contact tracer –what around, knock on doors, interview people and fill out some forms? Or interview people over the phone? Thats not brain surgery. Believe prekwinkle was saying they were going to be $20 hr jobs w health benefits..and they cant get it going??. An unbalivable joke
Phone calls. Door knocks are dangerous
