Lightfoot assures cops: ‘I will always have your back’ – Chicago Sun-Times*

The mayor’s latest, most vociferous attempt to reclaim the police support that has abandoned her since her landslide victory in 2019 came at a graduation ceremony in the Navy Pier ballroom.

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.
