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.

Beetlejuice should blame President Diapers — and his erasing of the southern border — for the humanitarian crisis
Lori being a drama queen, it’s a win win for Lori. She can being caring and simultaneously snarling about a non issue. And……..count them as tourists!
The things she says are supported by zero facts. I’m beginning to think she has serious mental health issues.
I’ve never seen a clearer case of NIMBY (not in my backyard!) They want to flood the country with illegal immigrants but when they show up in Chicago they freak out. Lori doesn’t even need to address this, or just blow it off and say that people arrive in Chicago every day, it’s no big deal. Instead she freaks out, looks like a hypocrite, embarasses herself and the city.
Yes, he is manufacturing a human crisis, but his name is Joe Biden, not Greg Abbott.
Dulce Hogar Chicago from our Sanctuary City mayor!
Chicago should take a ” fair share” of the immigrants
L.L. & the (D)’s are the ones *manufacturing* the crisis by their desire for *open* or *no* borders…
They just never realized that they would suffer the consequences of their policies too…
How much ‘proper warning’ are the communities along the southern border getting as hordes of people ILLEGALLY enter our country?
Texas communities don’t deserve this tsunami of ILLEGALS- they should all be either repelled at the border or bused to sanctuary states/cities. Only Feds can enforce federal law so Texas can’t repel them, so next best thing is to share the burden with blue cities that brag about wanting illegal immigration.
You want it? Deal with it!
