Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Pritzker, enabler of criminals be they citizens, legal residents or illegals, sounds what alarm? He raises tariffs on the “working families” he loves to claim to protect. He raises tariffs on the business run by or employing “working families” to the point they leave or close down. He protects public pensions like they are divinely permanent programs that can’t be reformed, only fed billions more. He wants the state between parents, kids and their doctors over trans issues.
