-- 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.

It’s Lori looking out for her own club. A certain political class has made skin color their major issue and this has not resulted in meritocracy in leadership, education or anywhere else. Look at the melanin make up of local government, has it resulted in better anything for anybody? But yet elections are 100% fair and square, Chicago and nationally; any comments opposing this view are racist and fascist.
I’m a Chicago resident and can not find a single person, NOT ONE, who voted for Kimm Foxx yet we are to believe she won with 70% of the vote in the general and more importantly beat 4 other Democrats in the primary? It’s all BS. The party central HQ wanted Foxx so we got Foxx. It’s rigged from top to bottom, from DC and your entrenched bureaucratic lifers down to the State, County and Municipal level. They own this place now.
Corporations run America, money,money,money they also control who will run and win.
Skin color matters more than integrity to these people. Sickening.
Is this a joke, I unfortunately cannot comment on what I want to say.
Just more secret$$$$$moving around. We had a conversation just about answers all questions?
