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.

An elected official directly and clearly promoting insurrection! And they say Trump was an insurrectionist! The hypocrisy is dumbfounding!
Obviously Johnson thinks that by supporting illegals and criminals that he will be re-elected. Wrong. Nobody but CTU wants this idiot for mayor.
Problem is that the voter turnout is so small, with all the teachers AND their family and friends comprising most of that turnout, he WILL get re-elected. Stupefying isn’t it!
His doctor needs to stop refilling the prescription for the stupid pills he evidently is taking daily.
Wow. Apparently the CTU believes they now have enough power to defy the federal government and get away with it. We’ve come a long way from just bargaining for salaries and benefits.
I wish they do a public poll on what Chicagoans think and want. I’m sick of these politicians being so liberal with our lives
Mayor Law & Order is big mad! Super duper mad!
Why the UPROAR over ICE arresting and deporting the 10-12 MILLION ILLEGAL INVADERS ???It was OK for them to ILLEGALLY INVADE THE U.S.
