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.

Typically the feds don’t flash a badge, they show you their credentials and say who they are. THe actions of this school principal go a long way toward explaining why student test scores are so low. This is the person that Chicago put in charge of a school that educates(?) children?
The lesson is your CTU/Marxist teachers think that they are above federal law and those sent to enforce them. Fire them all before they infect their students with their militant, SJW rot.
Yes, it is sad. It is sad that the rocket scientists they have working in that school can’t understand who they are talking with and why they are there and caused all of this confusion. More importantly, it is sad that you and all of the other morons in CPS and CTU purposely churn fear among people just to make headlines. ICE is after violent criminals and terrorists…they are not coming after children in school. Put your heads out of your rear-ends and listen to the plan.
