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.

Thanks for reminding me lol
Lori gave into c3, the scum promoters who run Lollapalooza for their own benefit. Lollapalooza will be without question a super spreader event. But Lori sold her soul to rahms scum promoters. They donated big to Rahm and did not pay for the damage done to Grant Park. This garbage concert will give the commie CTU an opportunity to be off for another year as the numbers increase due to lori’s Concerts and festivals. This is also due to the gay pride fest that Lori is in favor of.
Without question… a super spreader? I have many questions. But good grief – enough with the pandemic buzzwords.
Are you OK?
