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.

Trading one useless woke piece of crap judge for another. Oh joy.
We will be paying her ridiculous pension for ever. The whole thing sucks. Where is the law, where is the investigations that out these people, where is the justice? These people will just walk into the sunset and we get to pay and pay…there is no justice.
Just before fast eddie goes to trial? Interesting.
Hmmmm…..preparing to flee? Will the Burke’s bizarre home be sold?
Good riddance to unqualified judge immediately ascending from 3rd-rate law-school.

She has apparently some experience but another third rate school grad.
Once a month a Brinks truck will pull up to the Burke residence to drop off 40 gold bars for the Burke’s state pension payment.
Disgraceful.
She can retire now, her husband, indicted alderman Ed Burke, has stolen enough money during his time in office that they can live like royalty
