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.

Pritzker is a hypocrite and liberal elitist of the highest order. It’s rules for thee but not for me in JB’s many households. The big guy has a massive carbon footprint but shoves electric vehicles down your throat. He locks you down while his family travels freely around the country. You get the point. Why doesn’t the media ever ask him about such things?
clearly he’s not filling their back pockets so they shut up about it… /s
As JB starts doling out the Pritzker Bucks/ Think Big Bucks nationally will anyone on progressive left question that the $bucks$ originate from offshore tax sheltered Pritzker family trust?
Of course not.
