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

Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
So just say you are protesting and you will be fine.
Are these people at bars the same people who, according to Groot’s own polling, support her cruel illegal lockdown?
Same ‘ole tired line. Has she no other tricks?? Oh wait, now there’s the ridiculous “travel ban.” Guess that’s only a problem when it’s done by the Prez and restricts Non-US citizens…
F U, Groot
Don’t believe her for a minute…of course she wants to shut you down!
The only bars that will be closed will be in white wrigleyville. The feral predators will continue to sling dope on the street corner, have street and house parties and drink and smoke in every playground. The crowds in boystown will be allowed to pack the bars like last weekend as will the Puerto Rican community like they did for the street party 2 weeks ago. What about her community looting, burning and rioting. She proves her hatred for white people every day as she allows members of her black and now gay community to do whatever they please.
No mention of the outdoor mask less street fest that occurred in Boystown Sunday night until 4am? Way higher risk than any reduced capacity bar…
Different set of rules for gays, illegal criminal aliens, and blacks. She has made it totally clear where she is at.
I know she will be in for another mayors term.They love her and all the insanity she has.You have to be stupid to live in il if you do not have to…
