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.

Pritzker said anyone who was “fomenting anger” in the wake of political violence is deserving of criticism.

Lying POS just listen to his videos.Thumping his fat chest trying to sound important.
