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.

Isn’t that nice. What a wholesome family to represent our state.
The Pritzkers are a family of gluttons.
Having billions of dollars just isn’t enough for these hogs.
And perverts, they’re all perverts.
It’s a fine family indeed. Let’s not forget about JB’s toilet removal property tax scheme. And how about an even bigger scandal– the Penny Pritzker Superior Bank collapse that she orchestrated, but only after she got most of her money out. And O’Bamas’ Justice Department gave her a full pass. And now Little Tommy. Pop must be real proud.
Tommy boy! The entire Pritzker clan is a group of weirdos, freaks and whackjobs. They shouldn’t be in any position to exert influence.
They do exert lots of girth. LOL
They are not in any position to exert influence, there money does it for them.
Holy cow, I just wish they’d all go back to the hotel business and stay out of anything to do with formulating policy.
