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.

Coincidentally the county clerk is married to a democrat state representative?? When those improper ballots are counted the DEMOCRATS WILL SAY”Sorry wrong name on the ballot so they are invalid !!! IT’S “THE CHICAGO WAY.”

Does it surprise anyone that Republicans would sabotage Democrat ballots? People are going to have psychological similarities no matter their political persuasion. I often find statements here similar to yours where the writer seems to have no clue as to that basic truth. The tactics often are—or at least can be—quite similar, yet the writer seems oblivious.
Any examples of recent Republican election/ballot sabotage that you can site? This example is right in front of you and it seems you want to simply dismiss it as “that’s the way it goes.”

He’s full of unmerited bravado on that topic but far short of evidence to buttress the allegations. Now, start your list. I can’t wait to read it, but give clear court winnings to verify your points of view. Otherwise, you’re no more trustworthy that da Trumpster.

As regards Trump’s complaints about the election results for the 2020 election the recounting showed no “substantial” voting irregularities and certainly not enough to affect the outcome there as it was officially reported later. There you have it: it’s likely there will often be “voting irregularities,” sometimes by one party and other times by the other party/parties.

The Georgia fraud could make your point moot.
Voter ID. Now.

Told the relatives I have left in Illinois to go to tedforillinois website so I hope they vote for Ted.
Saw my first Lawn sign for Ted yesterday. I hope to see many more.
Ted is for reform in Illinois and that is the kiss of death.
It is if the voters are happy with their current government.
Severino is on the Boone county ballot. I also had a difficult time getting my ballot in the machine? Your fighting these issues while we are voting. Sounds like fair and safe elections to me.
