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.

It’s ‘Racist’ To Call Out CTU President Stacy Davis Gates — For Being A Race Hustling Hypocrite — Who Calls Private Schools ‘Racist’ And ‘Fascist’ — And Then Sends Her Kid To Private School — But Wants YOUR KIDS Kept Locked In A Union Run Public School – Second City Cop; Stacy Davis Gates Tries To Defend Her Race-Baiting Hypocrisy – WBBM AM 780 News Radio Chicago
The thing I’ve learned about leftists, is that they just don’t care. They have no shame. and they really just don’t care what you think.
My child is going to a school protected by several armed guards. Shut up send your child to a gang infested school where I demanded no police or armed guards be allowed. Shut up and leave me alone.
She has the money to do so. Why do the south side residents have no good choices?
Thank you, CPS, and the CTU.
These people are really professional comedian quality jokesters. You don’t want your own kid to attend that crummy public school that the CTU (which is you) basically runs. They just don’t care how ridiculous and phony they look because there are no negative consequences to their intellectually bankrupt and disastrous policies. So how about all those kids that don’t have the money to go to the Catholic school? To heck with them– they will just have to suffer at the CTU cesspool.
Does anybody still buy into that somehow CPS is “disinvested” in the black community @ $30gs a student?? If anything, it CTUs majority white membership making astronomical salaries & benefits that don’t live in b&b communities that are the “disinvesters”.
I wonder what this Catholic school was doing while the CTU was on strike to prevent CPS students from returning to their classrooms?
How does choosing a catholic school for your kid fit in with a radical sudo-socialist?
Heads they win. Tails you lose.
The ChiCAHgo way!
“It was a very difficult decision for us because there is not a lot to offer Black youth who are entering high school” in Chicago, Davis Gates said. Yeah, thanks for making the case for school choice, Stacy! And she sure knew where to go for a sympathetic interview on this — the pathetic WBEZ.
Fake News Fraud Shit-Bag WBEZ is the best argument for defunding NPR.
They tried to frame it as a right-wing attack. I was really surprised that over at the left-wing crap fax a lot of commenters said it looked really bad and that she should resign.
Exactly. That’s WBEZ.
