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’m curious. How many of the murders committed in Chicago this year were committed with so called “Assault rifles?” My guess is that such data is not kept because it does not support the narrative.
The really interesting part is how a 35 pound 50-cal bolt action rifle got lumped in as an assault rifle.
How many murders in Illinois have ever been committed using such a weapon? But hey, you Illinoisans are not slaves. Go on and keep telling yourselves that.
I guess it didn’t occur to Safe Home that people are now aware that thugs have ghost guns, trigger switches and travel in packs like animals. Grandpa’s .38 special ain’t gonna cut the mustard anymore.
People are afraid cause the politicians won’t let the police do their job and protect the public from crooks and illegals……..only these politicians can have security…..they are NOT more important than the average citizen!!!
