-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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.

There’s a glaring problem, votes and who counts the votes!
I have a number of relatives buried in cemeteries throughout cook county. Will they be able to participate in the recall election? Before they passed on each one of them said. “If I ever get the chance, I am going to vote against kim foxxx
That’s odd … when my relatives died they asked that they not vote for Democrats.
Somehow my household became the first in 5 or 6 generations to vote Republican. All of my ancestors going back to the 1880’s voted Democrat.

Unfortunately some voters are SO entrenched in their loathing of Mr. Trump that there’s no hope for that veil to lift and they will see clearly.
Like the old curse: “May you live in interesting times.”
At the last election she lost very heavily in suburban Cook County. But the people of Chicago, who suffer most from her lack of effort, overwhelmingly approved of her work. She’ll never be recalled and will probably be promoted to higher office.
She had 80-90%+ of the vote in homogeneous black and brown neighborhoods with the most crime, and fared poorly in the safer mixed race neighborhoods and suburbs.
They voted, got what they want and now can blame President Trump.
President Trump: the perennial fall guy for everything that goes wrong.
