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.

This will go to the supreme court and lose. Just more of your Illinois tax dollars being wasted on virtue signaling to polish JB Pritzkers Presidential resume.
The wheels of justice remain well lubricated in Illinois.
Pritzker’s Bought And Paid For Supreme Court Justices Refuse To Recuse
IL Supreme Court turned down a very easy opportunity to prove itself to the public beyond any doubt that it has high standards of impartiality. Alas, the IL Supreme Court took the low road. What is left in IL w/o the taint of corruption!?
Run by democrats what else would you expect?
Even worse, the Justice personally attacked the lawyers and litigants who filed the motion. HOW DARE YOUR QUESTION MY IMPARTIALITY, YOU SCUMBAG LITIGANTS ARE ATTACKING THE IMPARTIALITY OF THE COURT. THAT $1,000,000 CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION FROM JB WAS ‘REASONABLE’.
This is straight up corruption. There’s no other word for it.
Andrew Jackson’s lessons of despotism from the nullification crisis are eerily similar to the circumstances of today.
-One step more and it will be within my grasp.
-A glorious prize, how bright it looks, keep steady my friends, you shall be exalted.
-“little farther CAL[HOON]sic.” and we are safe. (Andrew Jackson’s Vice President.)
-Stop you have gone too far, or by the eternal, ill’ hang you all. (Andrew Jackson)
-We must bear the burthen whether we are exalted or suppressed.
-I tell you what, Neighbor, I won’t stand it, they are standing too much on us.
Yes I have said this before, Trump is the new Andrew Jackson
He’s about to become a Republican Grover Cleveland, winning two nonconsecutive presidencies.
See you at the Supreme Court. The IL courts inevitable ruling will not stand up to recently tested precedent.
All commie scum.
My god, Rochford said that the recusal motion was an attack on her impartiality. She thinks a $1,000,000 campaign contribution has NOTHING to do with her affirming the constitutional of the gun grab. Rochford is a shameless hack that has destroyed the impartiality of the judiciary. What an embarrassment.
