-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Pritzker funneled millions of state tax dollars to non-profits like "Centro de Trabajores Unidos," which train illegal aliens on ways to avoid capture by federal immigration agents, and how to frustrate federal immigration courts. Last year, Pritzker and the Illinois Legislature approved seven state grants totaling $4 million for the organization, nearly four times its entire $1.1 million 2022 budget.

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.

And the article immediately above blames the Trump administration for the money problems. Well quit sending, make that wasting, money to support illegal aliens and the various agencies that support them. DUH!!!
The first sentence in the above Wirepoints paragraph is all that’s needed in an anti-Pritzker ad.
And Democrats wonder why the feds want to cut funding to them?
This Latino- centric, social justice equity outfit probably employs that one woman with the huge eyeglasses that was on the news last night crying about finally cutting off free medical for illegals.
Seems treasonous. And not much different than Burke, Madigan etc taking private money to appeal property taxes that decrease tax revenue that must be made up by others who can’t afford hired clout.
Keep in mind that Musk (The fox guarding the Henhouse) has taken in millions if not more of taxpayer subsidies over the years. Seems rather hypocritical that he is running Doge.

Musk is the fox guarding the henhouse? Really. That ranks up there with Musk, the wealthiest man on Earth, being after your grandma’s social security check and other DNC gaslighting and boldfaced lies. That post is why the Dems lost last time. The DNC has yet to embrace reality, like our friend Truthobscurer here. Get help. Seriously. And turn off the TV.
In reality, Elon Musk and DOGE are the hound dogs that drove the Democrat foxes from the henhouse. Thus the screaming and whining by Democrats defending the grift that was shut off.
These are called CARBON CREDITS. Musk actually lowered prices on some of his cars, to sell more vehicles that don’t pollute, to get Federal Carbon Credits to sell to other company’s that do pollute..
Everyone that voted for this should be arrested.
These Dem politicians say the word “sanctuary” and then spend tax payer dollars on anything they want. Housing, Food, healthcare and now classes on teaching illegal immigrants to avoid the actual law of the United States. How can this not be illegal? It is certainly wrong and makes no sense.
Pritzker and Springfield are nothing but sick and perverted individuals your day is coming boys and girls
I argue ‘their day’ is not coming, rather this is a reflection of the majority of the voters now in Chicago, Cook, and the other collar counties. You should take some time and visit say LaGrange and find out some of the wacky woke thinking from the spa yoga, errand running women out there. Complete wackiness, and they run in packs.
How about some action by our new US Attorney to enforce federal law, and think about an obstruction, fraud and insurrection action.
Maybe some of the citizens of Illinois need to write the US Attorney a letter to bring this to their attention. Or a petition
