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.

I did not vote for him the first time but I sure would now being he has been educated by the Democrats as to what they are really about. I think he would probably rattle a few cages of the entrenched Democrats that would end up in a victory for all of us. He sure couldn’t be any worse than Madigan or Pritzker.
You know, considering the current ghastly Illannoy leadership, I’d vote for the guy, lol…
There are those that will say that he could not possibly be worse than the Beluga that now disgraces the office of Governor of the State of Intoxication today but they would be wrong.
There it is…
Some of you won’t like this, but it is now “settled science” that a Blago is better than a Beluga any day…
I hope he exposes every rotten politician in Springfield in ways we don’t know about what has and is going on, I also hope he wins, he took a fall for no reason why was Pritzker never tried because someone protected him, embarrassment is forthcoming Illinois politicians and Madigan may you rot, does any ever wonder why so many current and past Illinois politicians were so dead set against Blago getting out early, hum, time will tell all hey Pritzker, I hope your campaign for re-election is destroyed by new revelations.
