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.
Illinois lost another 54,000 tax filers and dependents, net, according to the IRS. Since 2000, fleeing taxpayers have taken $94 billion of annual adjusted gross income with them.
Once again, IL decides to play by their rules, all the while begging for that sweet, sweet Fed money.
Where is the vaccine documentation for all the illegal invaders who entered the U.S. illegally ???
I have known people who were cancer survivors who got covid shots and it came back. Also my brother was 21 years in remission. He got all 4 of those covid shots and cancer came back and in 6 months he passed. We all have a choice but I will never put that shit in my body again
Condolences
Screw you Pritzker you are not even going to tell me what to do pound sand
