Column: Pritzker doesn’t call out critics, just calls them names – Champaign News Gazette*

Jim Dey: "We, we, we. Like a narcissistic opera singer, (Gov. JB) Pritzker unleashed a torrent of self-congratulation that meant me, me, me, me. 'Do not let the doom grifters steal your optimism about what’s ahead for Illinois. Our future is bright.' Who are 'doom grifters'? They are 'spelunkers of misery.' Who? The 'carnival barkers.' Pritzker’s barb collection refers to skeptical financial analysts, including those at Truth in Accounting and Wirepoints who report the unofficial side of the budget story. Wirepoints’ Mark Glennon acknowledged Pritzker’s resentment but said the 'name calling honestly doesn’t bother me.'"

Joke. This from a loser who has no neck,
This from the “ Toilet Bowl King “. This from a loser who lumbers across a stage.
Let’s get some old toilet bowls and place a sign above that reads place your ballots here
For the next president.
If Fatty Arbuckle wins, the term “ chewing
The fat” gets a whole new meaning.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
