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

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.

Republicans NEED to drop Abortion from their platform or they will continue to lose elections. Talk to your wife, sisters, cousins etc. most (not all) will tell you the truth. They just cant vote for anyone taking away their rights. They will vote third party before voting for anti abortion candidate. Regardless of your beliefs, if you raise this issue during an election you automatically lose a majority of the female vote hence your path to victory. The loss will place a Dem in office who will vote for unrestricted access. Stay out of people’s bedroom and focus on economy… Read more »
Women who vote for unrestricted abortion aren’t Republicans, never were Republicans, and will never come around. This is an existential fight against Moloch, not some hot potato political issue. You think trans rights are popular? Do you think globohomo in schools are popular? Do you think any of the Democrat issues are popular? heck no, most of them are unpopular yet they push them anyways.
Way to make the GOP even smaller. Women who don’t think like you are not welcome. Stellar strategy.
What about women and men that want exceptions to rape or incest? Are they also not republicans?
Like I said, the man does nothing for IL. All he does is write briefs on national issues for others cases. He’s merely a tool of the national democrat party.
True, but he is keeping this fight in the public square which is all the D’s have to run on. It’s a lost cause for Republicans and major mistake for the National Republican party to allow this to come to the surface.
Not a lost cause. Dems push unpopular laws all the time, from drag queens in schools, to banning gas stoves and cars, to banning lightbulbs. This is super unpopular stuff, yet they keep pushing it. They don’t care. That’s exactly how I feel about abortion. Too bad if women don’t like it. No ladies, you can’t murder your unborn child. This society will not allow it.
The Dems lie on their platform, obtain power, change the maps and rules then change their agenda. Too late to vote them out. Voters forget about the stupid stuff like banning a gas stove but Abortion is a lightning rod and very personal. What I am talking about is winning and getting the power back. We have to have a platform to win. There is approx 40% R, 40%D and 20% independent. I HATE the Demtards and pretty much all their policies but I want to f’ing win AT ALL COST. I love this country and what my ancestors built.… Read more »
