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.

People screaming outside someone’s home at 2:00 AM is not a protest. It is harassment and deliberately flaunting the law. Until public officials stop cowering before this clear threat from a small minority, we can expect the threats to escalate.
Maxine Waters (D) gave the marching orders to publicly confront and harass members of the Trump administration, to this day Ted Cruz has idiots protesting outside his home, so why shouldn’t a Democrat face the same treatment.
Is newly awakened Bradley sure of the mob chant?
Might they have been saying, ‘Schneider, go to Hell’?
What happened in Highland Park was everything that Democrats claimed happened in Charlottesville, except there were no counter-protesters to instigate violence. To me, these are all freakin’ idiots.
sad
How are chants of “‘Zionists, go to hell” while carrying a Palestinian flag any different than “JOOOOOS will not replace us!” while carrying tiki-torches? It’s basically the same thing.
So now its a problem.
