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.

Typical Democrat. I hate sharing the same air with them.
A budding Nancy Pelosi!
Where are Pritzker, Harmon, the IL Attorney General, Preckwinkle, Johnson and other high profile democrats in calling for this persons resignation, and where’s the investigation of her Indiana issues? Do these “leaders” not want to protect the integrity and purity 😂 of their party and the residents they “serve”?
The full video shows that CPD bent over backwards to accommodate this self- important individual. They let her use her phone multiple times to contact her lawyer ( who didn’t sound too enthused about getting to the crash scene ), let her friend intervene, listened to her waffle about taking the DUI test and getting out of her car. Would that we commoners were afforded the same courtesy if we were drunk and smashed into several cars.
Typical politicians response, Don’t you know who I am? No, sorry, you’re so far down the food chain as to be irrelevant.
