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. Audio here.
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.

Check out the ego on Conehead! I think he is deluded in thinking that the President of the USA needs to come to him instead of the other way around. I still want to see Conehead and Porkulus be indicted for harboring illegals.
I’ve never been in politics, but I’m guessing it’s hare-brained for a mayor of a large U.S. city to call the U.S. President a terrorist.
Unfortunately or fortunately most of the kids can’t read his stupid rhetoric
Don’t worry, Brandon. I don’t think Trump will be hustling out here to your open office to negotiate with you. Just watch what happens with the fifteen or so federal agencies that pump money into Chicago. You are going to learn very quickly how Trump negotiates with tough guys like you. Bye, bye federal dollars. You will be gone in two years anyway.
People say they’re not happy with Brandon, but when the CTU tells the democrats he’s running again, and when people cry racism when anybody else (white, Latino, Asian) criticizes him, will Chicago really vote for anybody else? I hope you’re right, but I think Chicago has a bit farther to fall before it starts to recover.
It’s already recovering. Just ask BJ.
Another non-original thought by mayor racist
Johnson has his lips fused to the CTU… ring….
One must admire his chutzpah – or, he is so obtuse as to not understand he is either reviled or used by a special interest group to get something.
Chicago – winning!
Johnson’s got bigger problems, like prison. Homan to start working on the santuary city enablers and lawbreakers.
Typical of his kind, Six Percent is drunk with the power gifted him. If Trump were to walk through the door and lay into him as he did to the governor of Maine, the pesky “ journalists “ that pepper him with the same questions over and over hoping to get a response that they can morp into a damaging sound bite or any other unintelligent, unprepared person that wants to try and score points, Six Percent would be crying racism, disinvestment and Richard Nixon in a heartbeat.
What a Moron. An “Ultra-Maroon” as Bugs would say…
“The president of the United States of America has an open invitation to … come talk to me.”
I wonder what the negotiations between the Mayoral and Presidential security teams will be like.
I’m not kissing the ring, Ok well then I guess your kissing the as-. We’re did they find this moron.
They found him at the CTU. ‘Nuff said.
He is CTU’s cream of da crop!
Mayor Cliff Notes is urinating into the wind on this one.
Right. And he’s so dumb that the thinks that it’s raining. BJ is the poster child of the typical CTU member.
