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.

May JB the Hutt and the Turdbin be forced to listen to the screams of the millions of babies they are responsible for killing through abortion for eternity.
LOL no one is listening to Pritzker’s theatrics. I doubt Trump is thinking about him at all.
Blah, blah, blah , Durbin must be talking about the rural areas that once had industry and other work for the citizen. Maybe bringing manufacturing back to the once great state of illinois could help this . 50 years ago there were 5 machine shops with in a mile of where I sit. Now, not 1.
It’s great to hear Durbin speak of bipartisanship! Of course, he only does that when his party has zero power. When Dems are in control he’s happy to ignore Republicans and just ramrod the far left agenda through. He’s such a disingenuous individual.
Does this doofus know that Chicago is in Illinois?
Probably not, he is rarely seen south of I-80 and never seen south of I-74.
Talk about blood on their hands, you of all people should talk Pritzker murder of the unborn, the unborn will lose there lives because of YOU such a evil individual.
