-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
The leadership turmoil engulfing Harvard University is putting a major Democratic Party figure on the defensive -- Penny Pritzker, sister of Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.
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.

Just another trust fund brat spoiled when handed a couple of billion dollars when a teenager. Never had to work or break a sweat to earn a buck or two and actually believes she is smart. The entire Pritzger family is a bunch of arrogant pigs. Look at the family lawsuits against each other fighting over the cash stuffed pie they all want. Useless arrogant, entitled are the 3 things they all have in common but when you flash the cash which they all have there are lots of people who want to be their friend. Without the money they… Read more »
Having money does not guarantee having power so to gain the power you need to be in some type of political office. I think that the Pritzker’s chose one of them to run for office and that happens to be JB. Maybe they drew lots who knows.

Edelman is one of the most unethical PR firms ever. It’s no surprise Pritzkers would team up with them.
So much unethical, extremist, and possibly criminal behavior associated with the name ‘Pritzker’ And it wasn’t about $$$ like with the Biden and Pelosi crime families. The Pritzkers waded into the bad behavior on their own.
See Penny Pritzker Superior Bank history for a blueprint on corrupt self-enrichment and exploitative business practices preying on poor population of Chicago.
Interesting, all of a sudden the Pritzker name is popping up all over the media. The most interesting one is Tom Pritzker who runs the Hyatt chain showed up on Jeffrey Epsteins flight logs, doesn’t prove anything but I don’t think they were out for a joy ride, I mean flight.
Looking bad for him here:https://themessenger.com/business/jeffrey-epstein-documents-hyatt-hotel-billionaire-tom-pritzker
