One email further explained: “Gov. Pritzker’s Chief of Staff Anne Caprera will host a call with the administration to discuss lock-in asks. The emails raise the question of how they sought to plant landmines and derail Trump this time: “What information did the Biden White House pass along to assist with this ‘GSD’ (‘Governors Sock-puppeting for Donors’) project; what were these ‘priority asks;’ were any privileges or obligations violated in doing so; was Susan Rice involved, again; and, of course, will there be any accountability this time?”

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.

These Gov’s basically set their states up for scrutiny by DOGE and DOJ and HHS amongst other Federal Depts. Democrats arrogance finally got them.
JB the Hutt’s ‘Governors Safeguarding Bureaucracy’ sounds like sedition to me. The Democrat Party is looking more like a RICO at this point. It is gratifying to see these lefty political animals losing their lawfare cases one by one though.
CRIMINAL CHARGES INCOMING!
Actually, nothing necessarily wrong with this if they discussed measures that an outgoing administration can properly and legally make. What I would want to know, however, is whether they discussed things like pumping out billions of dollars improperly on unvetted projects or breaching legal procedures for administrative actions.
These people are scumbags that only care about power. Of course they illegally left landmines around to subvert the new democratically elected government. The current government is filled with subversive Democrats and Trump is firing thousands by the day.
We already know thanks to DOGE mones were salted away into 3rd party orgs contraolled by Democrat interests. We also know the IRS targeted Secretary of Defense Hegseth as soon as his nomination was put out in December. I think the rushed spend to Rivian would be included.
Nobody’s going to be charged ever, remember it took decades to get some charges against Madigan.
But there’s a new sheriff in town. AOC has been referred to the DOJ for criminal charges merely for giving some sort of town hall how to avoid deportation. Kash Patel hasn’t even been confirmed yet. Give him a few months to consolidate his power and then he will be a force to be reckoned with.
