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 is what democrat political hacks consider virtue signaling. They know this effort has failed but still want to force Mr.Trump to spend time and $$ so they can hold their own when their conspirators meet at the convention.
Voting Rights are Civil Rights, this judge is violating my Civil Rights, to which she has Personal Liability.
which is a Federal crime ! who the heck is she, just some political hack !
Election board voted unanimously to NOT take him off ballot and then a couple of people from a left wing “freedom to vote” (forget actual name) sued to remove and obviously another corrupt democrat judge went along with it! What happened to EVERYONES right to vote for their candidate of choice.
I am sure they shopped it around until they found the “right” leftist judge….
Gaming, rigging, and stealing elections is what Democrats do. Such lawlessness in IL.
It’s the democrap game plan. That’s all they know. Steal steal steal.
This is what happens when AA hires have an extra day to celebrate their blackness and do George Soros bidding. F the election , f Joe Biden and f the Dems. Time to stop playing nice.
there are only 3-4 blue counties in IL that dictate to the other 99 counties and the State, which are primarily RED counties. They have taken away our 2nd amendment rights with the illegal AWB ban and now taken away our rights to vote for whomever we want. I really believe it’s time to have a discussion about seceding from Chicago on the table here. It’s time for the rest of ILLINOIS to secede from the corrupt, leftist, unconstitutional Chicago and Springfield.
So when does a down state IL judge remove Biden off the ballot for insurrection? Letting in 10 million ILLEGALS in and taking $20 million in bribes from Ukraine and China is insurrection in my book !
Since when does a traffic court judge in Chicago have jurisdiction to remove Federal candidates and go against the Elections Board ? This is outrageous and we must speak out against this removal of our rights. Election interference is a Federal crime I want to see charges brought against this DEI hire !
Soo this Judge says that Illinoisans do not have the right to vote for the candidate of their choice. Interesting to say the least but after all it is Illinois.
sounds like a threat to democracy to me …just what the democrats accuse others of doing.
Black judge appointed by the democratic controlled Illinois Supreme Court rules that President Trump be removed from the ballot even tho there are already decisions in other states that this is not going to be allowed. Democrat judge in a democrat controlled state, in a democrat controlled county. Have this sham type of hearing in central or southern Illinois and the decision would,be upside down. Again Cook County/ Chicago democrats crushing the 95% of the state that vote Republican. The democrats have no shame and hate anyone who does not bow to their domain.
I have a modest proposal. If this decision should stand (and that’s still a big if), it would not only keep Trump off the primary ballot BUT also not allow any write in votes for him to be counted. If that happens, then this is what I suggest: write in “MAGA” or “Eff You Judge Porter” or something similar as a protest.
Hey Tracie, if you believe President Trump guilty of insurrection, please indict and charge him with such… Our state is pathetic. BJ, JB, judges who violate their duty to uphold the Constitution, the rule of law, Jesus, simple decency.
Someone please get me a decent ticket in Nero’s sky box in the new White Sox stadium so I have a good view when this dump of a city and state start to burn.
It’s a kangaroo court and everyone wants in on it. TDS is terminal, it literally destroys democracy.
Absolutely spot on comment. It’s all political theater and this judge wants to join the exalted ranks of Fanni Willis and Letitia James. It’s easy headlines and name promotion.
Big Fani is likely going to be disbarred, and possibly go to jail.
happy days
this judge should be indicted for election interference which is a Federal Crime !
YEP…….AND THEN LET ONE OF JP’S NEWLY MINTED ILLEGAL IMMIGRANT POLICE OFFICERS GO ARREST HER!!!
