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.

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.

JB needs to eat more and talk less.
Gov. Abbott should tell JB he’ll stop the buses if JB can lose 20 lbs in a month.
Pritzker the bully crybaby now. Good grief. Abbott won.
Abbott didn’t just win. He is winning each and every day. Pritzker wakes up every morning and has to drop onto his pudgy knees and tell Abbott “You’re my Daddy.”

I caught a quote from him yesterday, in the news, where he was commenting on the IOWA Primary: “Tonight’s contest is simply a question of whether you like your MAGA Trump agenda wrapped in the original packaging, or with high heels, or lifts in their boots” Let there be no doubt this man hates you.

Saw the same clip, thought to myself what an asshole.
This type of flippant arrogance, from a state governor, is really oft-putting for half the country. He intentionally alienates half of America with his really terrible progressive policies and then mocks you publicly for disagreeing, and lies about the bad things. He didn’t just go after the Republican candidates, he’s mocking you and your beliefs, deplorable. He’s attacking you, the voter. He doesn’t care if you leave the state. He wants you gone, or in his newly emptied prisons, because there’s simply no place for deplorables in our inclusive progressive utopia.
Quit parroting his garbage. We get it. What are we going to do to stop him?
First we get the money, lol
