-- 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.

Does WP know of a PAC that would be willing to fund advertising against this plant and giving Commie’s our money? I will happily donate.
I’m thinking newsletter like Proft put out before the previous election.
That worked so well last time. Try it again.
JB only won by a few % against a terrible social conservative candidate. I Thank Proft for keeping it as close as it was in this gerrymandered Dem utopia. Start engaging middle class suburban women about something other then Abortion and the ship can sail the other way.
A few percentage points? lol
Some of you really do live in your own fantasy land. I guess losing by over 12 percentage points is now considered close. Maybe next time the GOP will only lose by single digits. Wouldn’t that be something special.
Gotion opponents in Manteo have just formed a nonprofit for that purpose, that they will be announcing soon, and they will be raising money for just that purpose. Stay tuned and we will report it as soon as official.
Perfect, Thank you
If allowed due process, communities are allowed to present evidence of potential adverse consequences to themselves. By denying Manteno citizens their legal rights, Manteno governments are sitting judges, essentially allowing only plaintiff to speak and forcing defendants to remain silent.
Manteno residents need a lawyer to enforce OMA.
Manteno residents should already be flooding every Manteno government body (and complicit Illinois State offices)with FOIA requests for disgorgement of communication records with Gotion and one another.
We are seeing more arrogance and total dismissal of the people by these public serpents. Hopefully they will continue to overplay their hand and wake more people up. Disgraceful.
