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.

This guy is a loon. Nothing but doom and gloom. He listens to Ezike who is an actress. He listens to Madigan and to Fauxi (a guy who has never done anything but side with the left). There might be “new” cases because people have been tested multiple times until they get test negative. Some of the testing for the flu are getting crossed into the resting results for C-19. The cases and the numbers are not what should be looked at. The hospitals are handling people fine. Yes there are people In ICU but there are other illnesses that… Read more »
Who will protect Illinoisans from this power-mad Dictator? Where are the checks and balances? Where is the legislature? The courts?
Pritzger’s nutritionist told him this was the only way he would ever lose any weight.
Good idea Governor. Let’s shut down Lake County and its 700,000 citizens. Yesterday you reported 3 deaths– two ladies in their 80’s and one at 100+. Great proportionate remedy. And does anyone really believe those three deaths are Covid at those ages?
In a few more weeks the entire tourism, restaurant and convention business will be destroyed for good in Illinois.
I don’t understand why no one challenges his decisions given it is possible to minimize the impact of the disease by isolating those at risk. Why blow up the entire economy in a state that is on the verge of fiscal ruin? Not to mention treatments have improved and the fatality rate is way down. Cases and positivity rates are less relevant.
Nobody absolutely nobody in Springfield gives a damn there all a bunch of phonies especially Durban. Priztker and Ezike need to be tried for what they did to all are seniors in nursing homes and assisted living facilities.
Seems Lard boy has decided to cancel indoor for Lake and McHenry counties in Illinois as well.
He just wants to shut down the state again. Illinois will become like Cuba or other socialist states/countries.
This whole lockdown is bogus. Google Dr Mercola and his article re: What you need to Know about the Great Reset. It is enlightening.
This is all about Lard boy wanting to keep people home and not vote.
They are not new cases–it is people who have multiple test–each test is considered a new case even when it is the same person having the test.
The so called testing is nothing more than an epic medical Ponzi scheme…
Defy
Resist
If you cannot handle it, STAY HOME!
I agree…!
Why should I suffer for someone else’s fearfulness…
Or just move to Indiana.
Your only one election away from tyranny. I hope it never happens to Indiana or any other Red State.
I’m not sure what a ‘two-sided’ tent is.
I recommend people use round tents to match their round tables which can seat 6 – 8.
Someone keep watch on Pritzger to make sure he keeps his arse in Illinois and suffers what his highness has imposed on Businesses and The TAXPAYERS of Illinois!
RESIST AND DEFY
Yes, please report any sightings of the Gov. eating in restaurants in N/W IN or S/W MI….
He might in Wisconsin as he has the “working” farm there.
He might be eating in Florida as well.
He looks like he eats well.
The only hope for Illinois now is for the voters to completely reject all the Red political entities in the state, especially the Democratic Party, on November 3rd.
Bankruptcy, both governmental and personal, is what the people of Illinois face and if they vote for bankruptcy, they will most certainly get it…
