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.

No wonder postal workers are under siege. Welcome to the end times where lawlessness and violence abound and society can’t even function.
Don’t trust Illinois judges and think twice before mailing anything.
“Theft issues have prompted the USPS to advise that Americans avoid depositing mail in blue collection boxes–go inside the post office…..Experts concur with the advisory to only mail checks at the post office.” Also, don’t leave your mail sitting too long in your own mailbox. That’s because of a scam called check washing. My father was a mail carrier before becoming a garbage truck driver.
