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.

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.

The yutz cannot keep the jewel of his crown, Chicago, together… Are Democrat voters so obtuse as to not understand the depth of his uselessness?
I don’t think governor no toilets will be a very big hit on the national scene if fatso decides to become a presidential candidate. Democrat voters are pretty stupid tho so I guess you never know for sure.

This organism has attracted a critical mass of support from an identifiable subset of organisms. It is foolish to try to appeal to that subset with factors that are not deemed important by that subset.
Perhaps concentrate efforts on finding data which appeals to the emotional triggers of the supportive subset: Organism has successfilly employed buzzwords related to ‘equity’ ‘inclusion’ ‘bigotry’ ‘sexism’…
therefore employ efforts to document organism’s violation of stated charter before evidence of its behavior is scrubbed off the heavily censored internet .
