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 mission statement drafted by Kamela her-own-self.
Evanston first reparations now dei – what’s wrong with these bleeding heart liberal pukes? Their utopia will soon turn into Joliet with bums and illegals everywhere
Old Joe has finally found his calling. I’ll start off by telling the committee that I identify as an Evanstonian even though I live in Bowmanville. That ought to get my foot in the door
I find it interesting that the position on the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion committee excludes everyone who isn’t a resident of Evanston. Talk about group think!
The EPL has morphed into a homeless shelter for all the Chicago piss bums that pour up here to grift off the “we are a safe space for the unhoused” sh*thole that downtown Evanston has become; the place even has Narcan for bum overdoses, so there’s your “diversity”. They are also big on “Drag Queen Story Hour”, etc….
So many of you commenters would be perfect for this role.
“Just for fun” I should apply for the committee… I am gay and elderly, so I might have a chance to sneak in as a subversive conservative “stealth candidate”, lol…
