Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades
April 3, 2026

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.
No matter what is published or shown on the media, no matter how much corruption is uncovered, no matter the total ineptness, no matter the failings, no matter that he demoncrats have driven Chicago along with state into financial destruction the voters un Cook County/Chicago will still elect the same demoncrats by wide majorities.
Lori is jealous and hateful of her because she is a real woman not some clown like Lori playing a fantasy, demented, sick gender game.
Lightfoot, I know what you can do… Just come out with a declaration that statistics are racist. This way the crime numbers your “abolish the police” policy is causing can be just dismissed.
Without Karens, Chicago’s entire fiscal structure would completely collapse.
Lori, you’re the butt of the joke… The boobie prize… The inept, virtue signaling, best alternative to a lady who implemented a tax on sugary and artificially sweetened drinks… NEVER, EVER, forget from whence you came…
Groot the racist can’t even get her memes right.
When is trump going to have RINO Lausch go after the corruption that is Lori and her band of incompetent losers. It’s ridiculous that Lori is allowed to use racist attacks and get away with it. Lausch is Loris friend and won’t prosecute the dummycrat scum.
Noticed Ms LL didn’t attempt to prove she was not derelict. Instead Ms LL got defensive and called McEnany a racist trope.
Kayleigh – Class
Light foot – Trash
Hey Groot. Watch your F’n mouth. Maybe you shold worry more about your S-Hole city and the innocent children being slaughtered on a daily basis. It will be a bloody weekend for sure. Followed by a press conference on Monday blaming guns and Trump.

Emboldened criminals are causing pain an suffering to law abiding citizens, because there is no fear of consequences. The criminals know the Police can’t do what they know to be right, so they are allowed to do what they want. The “let’s talk” experiment, the let’s “re-imagine” law enforcement experiment isn’t working. The Police need to be allowed to do proactive Police work and not be judged afterword by backseat activists who don’t like their methods. Safety of law abiding citizens should be job one. Just ask any of the people involved in these crimes listed above whether they think… Read more »
She needs to watch her mouth–she called the current administration names.
She wants things from Washington but it is in her case do as I say not as I do.
So she calls President Trump a racist but uses bigoted tropes as well. Shame on her. Her envy of Press Secretary is so obvious.
Likewise lightfoot you also need to watch your MOUTH remember little lady how you f bombed POTUS. What a work of art you are, does it bother you that she is absolutely correct.
