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.

Get used to it Sanctuary City voters. You asked for it and now your requests are being fulfilled. Now that’s funny Talk with any liberal acquaintances you may have about the illegal invasion and you will hear the the nonsensical babble of the democrats talking points. Only families, poor people looking for jobs, no problems, we have to help, etc. You could hit these people in the head with a baseball bat and still not knock any sense into them. Liberalism is Stupidism.
From the videos coming from the border in the last week, Lopez, Biden, JB and the rest of the D’s are letting more migrants in than ever before. Forget about the idea of someone else’s turn. They will need to add an addition to the field house to accommodate more illegals. Makes no sense to suggest to close it when the rush is still coming in. Also, be prepared to pay more taxes for their food, housing and cell phones.
