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.

Gates, The angry black woman racist is planning a run for mayor. She’s getting ready now.
In this stacy tirade she barely mentioned the kids, parents and certainly never taxpayers. Instead it’s all about how lightweights not fit because shes not enough of a lackey/ shoeshiner for the dem machine….so much for all the fake progressive bs ctu, thanks for showing your true colors stacy!!
Hey stacey,
You must be stupid and dumb! The CPS schools are already destroyed!
CTU sucks and every teacher in that slimy union sucks!
If Karen Lewis couldn’t beat Rahm, what makes CTU think another one of their leaders can win?
Let’s be honest. As much as folks don’t like Lightfoot, they are scared shitless of someone from CTU becoming mayor. I mean, Preckwinkle got slaughtered, as she was only backed by them.
Hubris
And probably some voter fraud too.
This isn’t going to sit well with Beetlejuice.
