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.

Yeah – Pritzker “vows to continue to fight crime”. BS – can you say Safe-T Act and Cashless Bail. Pro-criminal; anti-police!
Harkens back to the Rosalyn Carter photograph where she posed next to Serial Killer John Wayne Gacy(back when he was a Cook County precinct captain).
No surprise here. Can’t trust Pritzker on anything. He’s a lying loser and always will be.
This photo better be used against him in his DESIRE to be governor again !! He served it up on a silver platter .
Why be embarrassed? Just goes to show dems embrace thugs, crooks and illegals. Put a face to the dem playbook
The guy was picking up a gift for governor WIDE-LOAD to give to his wife.
