-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --

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.

The IDPH advises that the KN95 masks could be used as alternatives. Is that like saying you could use a knock-off brand of bullet-proof vests that might allow a bullet to go straight through the vest?
Watch the fool Jabba try to save himself by claiming that calling the masks defective is xenophobic and racist
No, he will blame Trump, that’s Jabba’s only game
How much money did Jabba make off this shady, secret, back room deal?
The gov is trying to do the right thing but he just isn’t that smart. There is no way he should be a leader in the public or private sector. This is a man more suited for a very low level management position. (He doesn’t look healthy enough for physical labor.)
When you’re born with a $500 million trust fund you dont have to do anything or know anything.
LOL! The Chinese took one look at the governor on the internet and said, “this one isn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.” Anyone got video of Pritzker bragging he’s getting a direct flight of a lot of these supplies from China, and how smart he thinks he is? Instead of trying to be governor, he should have stuck with his plan to find a way to become a 4th stooge in the 3 stooges.
When the Chinese saw his picture they now think he is the guy eating all of their dogs
Wow he needs to take those back to the store in China and get our money back! The article said “pritzker is scouring the world for masks”, yeah right, like fatso is on the phone calling suppliers.
hey Jabba, let’s have a ‘green new medical deal’ and reuse medical masks and PPE. It’s sickening that you’re destroying the environment so doctors and nurses can swap masks when they please. Maybe they need a little shared sacrifice too. You’re all ‘green’ so go ‘green’ and stop wasting our money on worthless PPE.
