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. 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.

Last I checked White is still a color.
Hmmm…
Somebody has to test the waters before sending all the kids back into what very well may be Covid 19 hellholes and these goddamn schools are nothing but indoctrination centers anyway, so why would the parents of any non-black or brown student object?
What percentage of black or brown is required? Will DNA tests be required? Or just a hillbilly ancestor? OOPS, whom did I just insult? Treat me like a stamp and cancel me. Or call me Pocahontas’ brother Piss-up-Tree. It’s both amusing and alarming what passes for good governance these days.
The new Jim Crow, but now on white people.
Amazing that we allow this to happen.
This sort of racialist practice has been standard in Evanston schools for some years. For some reason Fox jumped on this particular instance. The deadline for parents to state their preference was Wednesday, but we still have no report from the schools about how many children have parents who want them back in school, nor did I find anything about what the capacity is estimated to be. In fact there may be adequate capacity for those wishing to return, and thus no issue.
What blatant Racism. Where is the ACLU lawsuit? Oh, wait, ACLU hates white people and is now a completely left wing marxist lawsuit machine.
