-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

I’m glad I don’t have a school-aged kid! If they haven’t included it in this bill they will add “mandated vaccines” to attend school to future legislation. March on Communists!
Yeah…
Because vaccines are working out so good for everyone… 🙄
You will not tell me what shot I have to take, communists of Illinois
Marxists like to have unelected and unaccountable and not transparent ‘committees’ dictate to the people. The cult of Leftist Democrats will fall right in line like sheeple.
Does he still have the EXECUTIVE ORDERS he started during Covid ??? Renewing them every 30 days ??
Illinois funding from the government just got a little smaller. Who cares about science anyway?
I was on the fence about a Covid booster, but now that I know that the state recommends it I’m definitely not going to get one.
Ignore these clowns that would’ve had you jump off of a cliff if Fauchi said so.
And he is still walking free, no one ever goes to jail. Tells you everything you need to know about the current administration.
As are Hillary, “ the 51 “ that helped cover for Hunter Biden, etc. If all that deserved to be locked up for crimes committed during Autopen’s tenure were, it would take forever, they would be released by lib judges anyway and it would distract from the number one priority- ridding America of illegals before the next presidential election.
I’ll use JB’s own words F.. You if you think I would care what Illinois says about vaccines.
Yeah, I don’t think I want anyone in Illinois state government dictating healthcare and vaccine requirements. They have proven themselves susceptible to influence, corruption and political manipulation on every topic or issue. That said…we won’t have anything to say about it anyway, those decisions will be made in the same dark room most deals are made in Illinois.
