-- 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. 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.

I know this is about Chicago but if you read the whole article Russ thinks whoever wins PA wins the presidency. That’s scary because that state thought Fetterman was competant. He seems to have recovered some but on election day he was clearly not mentally fit.
YOU JUST PROVED MY POINT……REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YA NOT ALLOWING FREE SPEECH……..WOW……….
No, the reason is because there are trolls out there posting here under BS names or copying regular poster’s names, pretending to be them and using racial slurs and then they tell everyone that this site is full of a bunch of racists
TO CENSOR THAT REMARK YOU ARE REALLY AFRAID THE PEOPLE WILL LEARN WHAT YOU ARE ALL ABOUT ………….NOT GOOD….WHEN DID THE CENSOR’S TAKE OVER THE PAPER AND YOUR COMMON SENSE??????????/ FEEL SORRY FOR YOU…PATHEIC………FREE SPEECH IS GONE……….SORRY FOR YOU……HOPE IT’S WORTH IT………
Cynthia, what part of “held for moderation” don’t you understand? As I explained to you by email, everybody gets that now and it does not mean you are being censored.
Talking about being censored. Have you tried to make a comment on Yahoo? Many people get Does not meet community guidelines or Rejected even without implying anything negative. But I found out if you say anything negative about Harris or democrats you will be rejected. also anything positive about Trump will be censored. People are now typing in code with certain words split into two words or no capitals.
Very interesting, and not surprising. The entire flow of news and opinion is rigged. Democracy is undermined.
Anyone that votes for harris has to be asleep …….she will do to the whole country what johnson is doing to chicago……..believe it…………MAY GOD HELP US!!
Double taxes. Triple taxes. The slaves won’t care. They will even love it. As long as the Bears are playing and the local bar is open, the stupes are happy. Who is going to stop them? It should be fun to watch the ensuing implosion from afar. I wouldn’t want to be in the middle of it. By the way, if Napolitano and Sposato hate it so much, why are they still demofilth?
Kudos to Russ for doing actual investigative reporting, instead of parroting a press release. That’s the way it used to be done. Then it switched to this.

Except the problem with the video you posted is that they are Sinclair Broadcast Group Stations…they are a conservative ownership.
Russ Stewart the best, and nails it:
