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.

Talking big and nasty for his presidential run .
^ This +++++
If there are no illegals voting then there shouldn’t be a problem.
More self interested, purely political, fear mongering from a guy who knows we just had elections in IL and none of what he says happened. More racial pandering from the guy who tried to help Blago with “the black thing”. Can’t run on his own fiscally and socially destructive record and retrograde policies, so it’s orange man bad, all day, every day.
Forever playing the race card with yet another “race pimp” who extorts money for a luxurious lifestyle while using the alleged black vote as a weapon. When will black folks wake up to being used?
They won’t as long as their toast is well buttered by the Democrats
Illinois vote tallies will be the usual solid blue so why would Trump, ICE or anyone else for that matter care about the Illinois’ polling? Pritzker’s bliovating for headlines to feed to the nationwide radicals is all this amounts to and the Chicago Tribune is just too happy to oblige him with the headline he desires.
Although JB’s superficially high vote totals every election often make me question Illinois’s election integrity.
If agents do show up at polling places, isn’t that what these agents are doing protecting your right to vote? If you walk in as a legal American citizen with a right to vote, What’s the problem. I would like Governor Pritzker to be the first to push federal agents.
You are 100% right. There is no problem. What law abiding citizen wouldn’t want to see more law enforcement around groups of people at voting places or airports or sporting events or anywhere? That is the point, Jumbo wants illegals to vote…it is the only explanation. If someone has another explanation, love to hear it.
Does Pritzker ever talk about any issue other than Trump? He can blame any IL problem on Trump. And some of his accusations border on being ridiculous. He sees ICE agents in his dreams. IL voters eat up his rants, but how will IL financial problems play on the national stage with his presidential campaign?
When he’s not talking about Trump or ICE he’s on television spouting lies about Illinois financial position. And people believe it because they just don’t care. Unfortunate
Maybe he will have ICE working as postal workers too. JB is a moron .
