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.

How could JB make IL more Corrupt and Democratic? The districts in IL don’t represent all taxpayers a voters. My “elected “ officials don’t even know where my town is.
Pritzker is the worst offender on gerrymandering.
Not only did he create the most partisan-gerrymandered districts in the country.
He also rigged the courts, so lawsuits can only be brought in the crooked Democrat rigged courts in Chicago and Springfield.
Actually Madigan accomplished this gerrymander with JB’s approval. JB is simply not smart enough to accomplish this IL map crushing perversion of Democracy.
Wirepoints’ website would be more attractive if it had fewer pictures of JBP.
