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.

Who’s protecting Illinois taxpayers from funding illegal immigrants?
Can’t wait until the schools are like those in the movies “ Stand by Me “ or “ The Principal “, total hellholes that are merely gathering places to socialize, hook up, sell drugs and intimidate the students there to actually learn. You’ll then hear Pedro crying for help. Sorry Pedro, clean up your own mess.
Ha what a joke this isn’t about protecting students, families from mass deportations it’s all about CTU you know what $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$.
Charge anyone who gets in the way with impeding a federal officer. Send them to Mexico along with the illegals they value more than US citizens.
In this latest nutty post from CTU they are trying to exploit Trump deportation, project 2025, etc threats to hurry along their outrageous contract deal$$$$$ (https://www.ctulocal1.org/posts/contract-trump-project-2025/)….“You never want a serious crisis to go to waste” politics at it’s finest.
But not a word or new insights on how to teach reading, math, and civics to students.
Time to reconsider public education. Especially in CTU-Chicago.
Pity the children and society’s future with an ignorant population.
