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.

Be prepared for IL elections to be declared invalid. That’s the way lawlessness goes.
Amazing how Voter ID terrifies Dems.
If you want to see real disenfranchisement in Illinois, one need only look at the Gerrymandered voting districts, drawn specifically to keep the left in unchecked power in Illinois.
Im thinking that this defiance will have repercussions for IL and JB. Of course JB will welcome it as part of his 2028 Presidential Campaign.
Let’s see where you need an ID. Here is a list. But not for voting to prove who you are.

Thank you!
Why anyone would fight against fair and accurate elections defies logic. Oh, wait….
You didn’t finish after the …….they’re democrats
We need a subsidiary of DOGE – DOEI Department of Elections Investigation…
Turn the DOGE AI people loose on the elections…
If they can find hundreds of billions of $$ in fraud, I’m sure they can find hundreds of millions of phony ballots…
Federal election no ID, well I guess the state vote for president will not be counted. US senators not sworn in and not seated in the Senate. US reps not sworn in and not seated in the HOUSE. Federal elections should have federal rules.
It might be questionable to require this for state and local elections. Not certain how SCOTUS would rule.
But Federal elections are just that- FEDERAL. Therefore, valid ID can be required.
