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.

State law puts these administrators in an impossible position. State law requires them to enthusiastically support men changing in girls’ locker rooms or be accused of violating the an autogynephilic person’s civil rights. But likewise, this is in violation of various federal laws, executive orders, etc. I have no doubts the Deerfield administration was gung-ho forcing those right-wing MAGA girls to change with the boys, and hopefully, they prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
Debtsor – I went to that middle school decades ago. I credit its location in part for my career in athletics.

Are there any adults working at Deerfield’s public schools? Where are these girls’ fathers?
Are the school staff in Deerfield related to Jerry Sandusky?
I bet if you asked the school administrators who told the girls to undress had to do it themselves they would scream bloody murder. They are not exactly the lead by example type,
Every Deerfield school administrator need to go to prison for pedophilia and attempted rape.
Who would down vote this? A tranny (therefore mentally ill, get some help) or a pedophile, that’s who.
When are the Dems going to support women’s rights? Biological women’s rights.
Throw every staff member that had a hand in this and those that support it out bodily.
