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. Audio here.
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.

She doesn’t think she did anything wrong. While many Dupage Dems wouldn’t say it out loud, they were thinking exactly what this nimrod wrote. I don’t expect them to switch to the good side, but maybe being arm twisted to vaccinate their children for no good reason will be enough to keep them home next year. I’d love to hear a Casten or Underwood concession speech.
be careful what you wish for, because Casten’s concession speech might be given to Newman the clown….they’re running against each other now, as her district was redrawn to make another latinks district….it’s two white far left nutjob progressives in mutual combat against each other…
A “social media director” immersed all day in the left wing echo chamber of social media… Will eventually say something irredeemable and disgusting without a second thought, because they themselves will have lost all ability to think objectively, or think at all. She believed her words 100%.
She’ll switch to her husband’s last name, Dougherty and reinvent herself.
The thing is – the Dupage Democrats support what she says 100%. She just said the quiet part out loud. There are a bunch of radical, unhinged, hate to say it, female Dupage Democrats ( ie. -the teacher in Geneva Il Antoniette Tortorello-Allaway) who had to resign after her tic-toc rant – she happens to be Lynn LaPlante’s (Dupage County Board Member) sister-in-law. They are now keeping a lower profile because they are seeing the low poll numbers from their leader – Biden/Harris. They also are seeing more people waking up to this marxism. These Dem’s were all supporting BLM… Read more »
There are plenty of dumba@@ men that vote Dem in DuPage too. Just saying – let’s not give women all the credit.
Do not ever come back.
Shocking person. Evil.
She resigned so she reinvent herself as some other lowlife Democrat.
Good riddance to a really bad person. The Illinois Democrat Party used to have a lot of moderate, reasonable people involved. So sad to see fools like this have crept in to make the Party a home for mean spirited hard lefties who really hurt this state. And DuPage County should be happy to be rid of her.
She will be hidden away to some made up position and continue her leftist hate.
