-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --

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. Audio here.
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.

Hell motorcycle’s too they can actually require helmets and put batteries in them, they can become the “Ghost Rider”!
D & D don’t work for us; they work for themselves! If it seems like the Dems are trying to wreck the country/state/city, it’s because they are. Cloward-Piven + feathering their own nests. Come election time they pretend to tack to the right. Pray for our country/state/cities!
And, right on cue, Tammy like her fellow useless senator Durbin, comes out of her hole, throws some nonsense out there and then will scurry away to the next slow news day when she will re-appear in another desperate attempt to remain relevant.
Tammy really wants to mandate electric planes, but she hasn’t figured out how many feet of extension cords it will take.
You make fun of battery powered airplanes but the largest battery manufacturer, CATL, is developing one and by 2028 it could have a range of 1,800 miles. Technology in batteries is moving along faster than most people think.
That’s fine. You take the maiden voyage.
We are so lucky to have Tammie looking out for us all and tackling head on the big issues of the day. I’ll bet sustainable aviation fuel ranks right up there in the top three of issues that Chicagoans and Illinoisans are worried about. How can we ever address problems of rampant crime, crummy public education, lousy mass transit, mountains of pension debt or rising unemployment until we take care of that existential threat of non-sustainable aviation fuel. Wow. What a worthless Senator.
The DICK and the DUCK need to go people. DICK is working hard on making sure he protects FFMiles and this dim-whit wants to spend time and money making sure Aviation is sustainable. HOW ABOUT PROPERTY TAXES?! How about about a million other things that directly impact day to day life for the Citizens of this state?? Con artists.
