-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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. Audio here.
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.

Funny how JB never brought up Biden’s obvious dementia, Let alone do anything about it. When Pritzker breaks immigration and other laws, it’s IL taxpayers who pay the price. He’s pro criminals and pro illegals over US law abiding US citizens. He doesn’t care about education, just the optics of poor education. He’s more concerned about running for president than responsibly running IL. HE needs to put his Trump hate aside and do what’s right for IL citizens.
If one wants to look at mental instability look no further than JB Pritzker’s brother Anthony. The apple does not fall far from the tree.
The fact of the matter is that he couldn’t last 3 minutes in a battle of wits with Trump. He is the delusional one.
I can picture Putzger waking up in a cold sweat dreaming about Trump. Makes me smile

Take a walk on the wild side and see if the National Guard isn’t needed !!
Wish Pritzker cared about minimizing rather than enabling crime, stopping rather than encouraging illegal immigration and running a tight fiscal ship than the stuff he does care about, which is coddling criminals, seeking illegal immigration in defiance of federal law, and profligately spending our money such that people and businesses go elsewhere. Even among his criminal predecessors, he is fiscally and from a public safety standpoint the most destructive governor in memory. Insert expletives here.
When it comes to dementia and obsession, Pritzker can’t talk. He’s a little demented to think he can run for the Presidency. Obviously, he is obsessed with Trump to the point of irrational name calling and foot stomping. Doesn’t he have better things to talk about, such as IL pension debt, budget deficits, and reasons for so much out migration of businesses and population. Or is his Trump fixation just a deflection away from IL economic problems?
Your last sentence is spot on.
