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.

LL and her partner are the parents of an adopted child, I believe. Do you suppose they allow her to see her parent ranting and cursing like this? Or maybe the child has gotten used to this at home?
I’ll say that Lori can really present a well structured argument. It must have been pure entertainment in court. when she’d present an objection there was very little ambiguity. Leaping from her chair stabbing her finger toward someone and shrieking Fck U! It’s no wonder Mayer Brown canned her.
We are 3 for 3 now at the USSC.

Thank you Justice Thomas.
Winston Churchill once said, “You can always count on the Americans to do the right thing after they have tried everything else.”
America is Center Right.
A fine, fine example of how an elected official should act during the course of their duties. An embarrassment to most, a shining example of a democrat to many.
Lightfoot has a very dark soul. Pray she sees the light ( Jesus ). That’s all we can hope for.
She is far beyond just an embarrassment. Hopefully this rant gets a lot of coverage, so that in addition to her gross incompetence as a public official and a politician, more people can see she is just an angry, no class, crude human being.
LL is a Leftist crackpot.
What an embarrassment she is.
Lori Lightfoot — end stage toxic narcissist.
