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.

She will probably hire Jussie Smollett as her bodyguard.
Will Illinois ever have a REAL REPUBLICAN PARTY? Cowards and losers aren’t getting the job done.

Go ahead and blame the politicians all you want but it’s your fellow voters that are leading the way to doom. Rather than face reality they prefer slow suicide. They will take you with them if you stay.
Dear Chicago, it’s not me, it’s YOU. How KFx was re-elected baffles the mind. Apparently, people prefer crime and lawlessness.

Oh, and when those neighborhoods that are plagued with tremendous crime, wonder why the police have no interest in risking… Read more »
