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.
Hope the insurance companies don’t cover a drug considered unsafe, they certainly have a right to that. JB needs to pay for this with his Billions and not further milk the residents of the state.
