-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.
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.

Privscy in a hospital room? My fitst question is who paid for the room and sevices. My guess is Turner had no insurance and did not lay out a penny of his own money, so the room and its privacy belong to the taxpayer. I bet Turner hasn’t paid raxes in awhile either.
So people that live in section 8 housing no longer have a right or expectation of privacy in their government paid for home? That’s not how the law works.
The Supreme Court may very well allow this type of evidence but it won’t be because of government paid health care.
The know it all has spoken!! Next time you pay his bill instead of the taxpayer
Sorry for having knowledge and understanding that just because taxpayers pay for items such as housing or a hospital stay, doesn’t necessarily erode someone’s constitutional rights. Some of you are really proud to be ignorant.
