If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

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.

The failure of feminazi’s is epic. Feminism is dead in IL.
Is anyone looking at the flip side? How many girls identify as males and want to compete in men’s sports? Right now all the stories are about boys identifying as females and competing in women’s sports. Are they really identifying or is it something else??
I always wondered the same thing, percentages of male to female vs female to male? If, as the trans advocates say, gender doesn’t matter because males identifying as female don’t have an advantage over biological females, then girls identifying as males should be equally competitive as biological males.
I hope the IHSA can stand the hit when the federal money stops flowing.
I doubt the IHSA is getting any federal money
The public member schools share in Federal largesse.
This transgender thing is an epidemic! Why, there must be thousands of trans female athletes in our Illinois high schools competing with our girls! We have to stop these people from destroying our country! Wait. What? There aren’t thousands? Okay, hundreds, then. We have to stop these hundreds of… Wait. What, not even one hundred? How about fifty? Not fifty. Are there ten? You’re not sure, but, actually, probably no more than five. Okay, okay. So Illinois has about 1,300 high schools with about 300,000 girls enrolled, and there are maybe five transgender athletes? Ahem… WE HAVE TO STOP THESE… Read more »
Yes , the sentence in capitals is stupid. No one says they are destroying schools. They are cowards who feel a need to dominate women’s sports because they cannot hack competing with other men.
In what universe is that fair to women?
How about this:
We will not support, ideologically or financially, the normalization of mental illness.
You have every right to be as deluded as you choose,, but not to expect the taxpayer to finance it.
UN report says transgenders have won over 900 medals over biological women. That means 900 women have not received medals, scholarships, or financial compensation. And that study is almost a year old. Every day there is a story about a transgender winning over a biological woman, whether it’s fencing, pool, track and field, bike racing and so on. Are those numbers enough for you?
What a f’ing joke ! Women athletes should take notice of this law come election time
IL against biological women’s rights.
