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.

How in the world does this guy keep a Law License and state Pension when he was found guilty of corruption? How in the world does that make sense? The level of corruption and manipulation in Illinois is unprecedented. We will see what kind of sentence he gets…if it follows here…should be probation…and release… Ridiculous. .
Chicago/Cook County/ Illinois are called the most corrupt places in the country for no reason
Pritzker sure is throwing a lot of money around, hey.
ALWAYS VOTE BLUE, NO MATTER WHO!!!
Ann Burke ran for the Supreme Court unopposed in 2008. UNOPPOSED! She won her retention bid in 2018 with 81.1% of the vote!
Remember folks, when you always vote blue, no matter who, you enable the most corrupt jerkwads in the state to cheat, lie, and steal from you. But that’s just the way your blue haired communist neighbor likes it, because abortion or something.
Bigger problem is he keeps his pension, as does his crooked-judge wife Ann.
