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.

First action Mayor Johnson must do: relinquish his 150-cop CPD personal protection army.
He is a hypocrite. He repeatedly speaks to his single-purpose duty to “black and brown peoples”, then flounces about with his $30,000 personal-grooming and 150-strong bodyguard cavalry. Living large on the taxpayer dollar. Truly, this emperor has no clothes; guy is both arrogant, and beyond ineffective.
From his convoluted statements, it seems Johnson is always too quick to incorrectly “ point a finger “ at white supremacists and businesses tired of being stolen blind leaving the area as the culprits for CHI’s increasing crime.

No education, no job skills and no jobs. No criminal enforcement or punishment, crime is bound to go higher and higher. The CPS failed a whole generation and Illinois chased out the businesses.
Going to be a long road to change things now.
