Raoul said his best lawyers are strained with a limited budget, adding that his office is overburdened not just fighting the Trump administration, but keeping up with the state's regular case load.

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.

I was at Gibson’s the other day. Two tables over was Kwame and the CPD power structure. He was telling everyone what he thinks, by sitting silently among the garrulous CPD leadership.
Kwame has no problems <urinating> away taxpayer dollars on blatantly political activities.
I just wondered who picked up the check for the gathering at Gibson’s.
His office is overburdened fighting with President Trump. Well now dumb ass if you and Pritzger and the rest of the democrats would quit wagering a political war and actually did something for the benefit of the citizens there would be no overburdened stuff going on. Hypocrites, each and every one of them and I mean democrats
Raoul-The-Fool; everyone sees it.
Kwaumie is a loyal servant of JB and the Prtizker for President 2028 Campaign. The rest of Illinois can go pound sand. Kwaumie can smell and taste that US Attorney General cabinet office; it’s his for the taking.
True, god help us if these two radicals get into office.
Too bad, Kwame. You are out of touch with where the US is headed the next decade. You and your army of lefty staff lawyers who push a social agenda rather than legal issues are not going to be funded any longer by the feds. And you better read carefully the stats on where Trump ended up with votes– even in out- of -touch Illinois. You are on the fringe of where Americans want their country to go.
Maybe if Raoul wasn’t going far and wide to pick battles and he and his staff confined themselves to handling IL business, they wouldn’t be so broke and tired. In true “ community “ fashion, always money for nonsense, but when it comes to the essentials, “ we broke!”.
Virtue signaling aint free. Like everything else in this perverted tyrannical state: Stick it to the taxpayers.
LOL Kwame, maybe you should stop the #Resistance lawfare and instead focus on the residents of the state…. and he loses most of the lawfare too. It’s not like he’s racking up wins out there. He’s losing his pants and wasting tens of millions of dollars along the way….
Use JB’s and your money for this, not taxpayer money.
