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. Audio here.
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.

Kim Foxx is a bald faced racist liar!
Liar
Lil’ Kimmie lies??? My heavenly days! What is this world coming to?
The real statistic I would like to see is the conviction rate. She can charge a crime but drop it in court. Everything out of that mouth of hers is a lie.
The numbers the public really needs to see is the rate of felony charges dropped or felonies reduced to misdemeanors. I saw one recent case where Kim Foxx dropped 30 felony charges against one thug. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor and walked.
I’d guess that Kim Foxx has the highest rate in the country of dropped and reduced felony charges.
This is why Illinois needs recall votes for fake prosecutors like Kim Fixx — and for this asshole too, as reported on The Expired Meter:
MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE: DRIVER SHOT 2 CAR THIEVES IN SELF DEFENSE — KILLING ONE — BUT LAKE COUNTY STATE’S ATTORNEY, ERIC RINEHART — A CRIME ENABLING FRAUD LIKE HIS HERO — COOK COUNTY’S FAKE PROSECUTOR KIM FOXX — IS PUTTING THE DRIVER IN PRISON – CHICAGO DAILY HERALD
Lake County voted for Biden 61 to 37. Trump won Kenosha County by a small margin.
I’ve repeatedly said that Kyle Rittenhouse would have been convicted of double homicide if he shot those two people in Lake County instead of Kenosha County with exactly the same set of facts.
I concur.
