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.

No more movies to be made with police, private investigators etc. doing their jobs to protect taxpayers and keep peace on the street.
Just imagine what kind of movies and television shows would be made to reflect the mayhem on the streets brought to America via legislators protecting hard core criminals.
Ah, it’s the democratic communist legislators job to quash a capitalistic society and freedom for the law abiding citizen to walk the streets and live in their homes without worry of crime.
I predict the Democratic party will cancel the Chicago convention and do it all online instead. It is no benefit for them to risk the optics that would be broadcast globally if the SHTF in Chicago.
They already mentioned doing a zoom a while back……..
Correct me if I’m wrong but I did not see one media outlet in Chicago cover this.
It’s purposely ignored because it makes illegal immigrants look bad.
👍👍
Left wing media cannot show the truth!
Cops showed up, what is happening to this world?
In the southwest neighborhoods they do not show up for hours.
Huge brawl leaves ILLEGAL stabbed, fixed it.
Not all migrants are illegal.
Sure but then it’s not as easy to dehumanize them and not care that they were stabbed.

I would estimate there is a 0.0001% chance the person in question is a legal migrant.
See were it happened
But all people living at the Standard Club are.
That Standard Club used to be a really nice place to go……….but then again so was downtown….
they are criminals lying about asylum! Don’t be so naive Brian! Makes you sound foolish!
DOWNVOTED
Better and more accurate headline: “Huge brawl leaves CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIEN stabbed. Soon to be deported.”
