-- 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.

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.

I misread the headline and thought Pritzker was talking about Morning Schmoe’s hate and exclusion’ strategy. Fat chance!
Pritzker found a place where he is welcome. Shows he can sling the lies with the best of them.
Never voted for this lying putz and never will!! LORD…….please keep him and harris out of our WH
I have always heard that the first thing a leftist will do is accuse others of what they are actually doing. We perhaps see this in action during Pritzker’s comments regarding “hate and exclusion.” Pritzker groups anyone that does not agree with his far left agenda as far out right wing maga types that he never misses a beat to ridicule. Pritzker never considers this group with his rulings and edicts so hate and exclusion? Yeah right if you are in Illinois and are not in the far out left camp.
JB the Hutt throws out ad hominem attacks like he wolfs down cheeseburgers: em masse.
Specific examples? None.
I guess he missed Kamala’s personal attacks on Trump less than 24 hours after she and fellow Dems announced their “ let’s be friends and stop the rhetoric “ statement. More duplicitous behavior from people that can do nothing else.
LOL I don’t really care if he calls my political views hate, as long as he lets me call his political views sick and perverted.
This guy is too rich to care about the people of Illinois or this country. He just wants the power, status and attention. Its all he has left, he’s already wealthy, has nothing to do all day, so why not have power and status too. Why can’t people see this…sheesh.
