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.

Don’t vote for Raj or any of the other far left Democrats for Senate. Vote for a Republican if you want true change, not more of the same.
The”Just eat lead” bill.
“Raj” . Who cares what you think ?
Just another useless virtue signaling press release by attention seeking Democrat. Without Trump, Democrats would have to deal with IL’s real problems.
While the citizens of Chicago, the ones who have paid for the soft-on-crime policies of Kim Foxx (D-Soros), demand that something drastic be done to clean up the thug element, Dim Bulb Raja performs more virtue signaling on behalf of Chicago’s thugs. Idiotic legislation of this kind (Dim Bulb supports only this flavor of tripe) has no chance of becoming law, so Dim Bulb Raja did essentially nothing save embolden the criminals running rampant all over Chicago.
I don’t see how the National Guard will get rid of the “thug element”, when they can’t arrest anyone.
They can free up the cops to do that. The cops know where the thugs are.
“Free them up” by doing what?
