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.

These walkers were probably the same ones who walked to defund police last year! They like to walk.
Sad situation, but one liberals orchestrated.
So many in those neighborhoods are woke and now they’re reaping the benefits of wokeness.
At least there were no carjackings.
What about Walkjackings?
Walk won’t do jack, thugs just wait until it’s more convenient for them. LOL, all these liberal woke rich whites getting what they voted for.
Thugs are laughing at your walk, they have a free $1,000 and no bail for violent crime.
Walks do nothing! Lock the criminals up!
And one hour after Michele Smith’s event, 14 – count em – 14 were robbed.
Guess that shows who’s really in charge.
Hey Michele, why you let them disrespect you like that?
