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.

Remember the last time voter registration rolls were purged of the dead, relocated and ineligible as required every so often by state law? Me neither.
If I read the article correctly if you’re an “inactive registered voter” and don’t vote in at least one of the two next federal elections you become a “cancelled” voter. I assume that means you are no longer a registered voter and purged from the voter list.
My brother at one time lived with me. That was over 20 years ago. He is still registered at my address.
Is he on the “inactive registered voter” list?
But the list isn’t being purged, that’s the point.
According to the article it gets purged by either voting in an election after being put on the list or being removed from active voter status if you don’t.
The Dems do not want voters rolls cleaned up. It defeats their agenda. Should also look into the registration of illegals immigrants. Registration if illegal immigrants was reported in local news media where registration was completed without proof of citizenship, since IL is a sanctuary state.
