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.

A bunch of sick, twisted perverts in Springfield.
Why are Illinois Democrats catering to only 2 interest groups — criminals and cross-dressers
Let’s hope this one dies in the senate as well.
There’s something uniquely personal about using bathroom facilities – on this one ‘separate but equal’ works for me.
Who asked for this bill? Who wants all inclusive gender neutral bathrooms? A female friend of mine pointed out that our gender neutral bathrooms mean that men urinate on the seats. Women are often wiping urine off seats before they sit down because some man urinates all over the seat, on the rim or dribbles on the floor in front of the toilet. Totally disgusting but the morons who write these laws never think about these things. THANKS JB
