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.

Foxx and those like her are the “fail” in our Justice system.
The failure in this scenario is Ms. Foxx herself. The chutzpah of this woman is amazing.
What a short-sighted politician who has not only failed in the Smollet crime, but in prosecuting crime in Chicago. “Mutual combatants?” Give me a break!

You’re absolutely right. And why doesn’t anyone care that it was St. Michelle’s inner circle that started this mess? You can be damn sure that some other political insiders would have been tarred and feathered by liberal media for much less. This was an attempt to interfere with prosecution of a hate crime, and it worked!
I watched the Smellit video after sentencing. I was smiling ear to ear. Kim Foxx should be fired.
