“We’ve reached a breaking point in our response to this humanitarian crisis,” Mayor Lori Lightfoot said.
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. 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.

As her final display of stupidity, she thinks she can call out the National Guard. She simply does not have legal power to do so. What an ignorant buffoon, even up until the last minute of her disastrous term as mayor of a failing major city. Branden Johnson will have her to blame for his entire term and he will be mostly right.
Lightfoot will soon be joining the ‘general population’ again. She won’t have +100 CPD cops and taxpayer funded private security to guard her and her family. Will she stay in Chicago to welcome the illegal migrants, and feed and house them?
Herself will run like a scalded dog.
When did she ever care….False cry for help. Possibly, this is the lead up to declaring marshal law here and throughout the country.
Maybe Fox is not seeking re-election, because, the police state will be in place by then. Fox did the job the maniacal philanthropists requested of her. Destruction mission accomplished.
Simple solution, SECURE THE BORDER. Easy words for SloJoe and company to understand. President Trump, 10K a year at the border, SloJoe 10K a day.
Excuse me, scoff scoff chortle. Lori is stuck in her tar baby Chicago is a welcoming sanctuary city, until we’re not.
I wish Texas would send a few hundred here to the People’s Republic of Evanston…
Oak Park too, and while we’re at it Hinsdale and Naperville. See how the AWFL’s like it.
More accurate quote: “We’ve reached a breaking point in our response to this SELF CREATED humanitarian crisis”. How about deporting all of the criminal illegal aliens?
Today’s CWBChicago has a story one of Lori’s new imports.
Yup. many of these illegals aren’t exactly innocent angels…
“More than 8,000 migrants have come to Chicago since August”
Seriously? That’s tiny compared to the number crossing the border. Send Chicago some more, a lot more. The Dems created this problem. Let them deal with it.
This should happen this week and next week at the border. Where will they go next? Chicago?

CHICAGO SANCTUARY CITY SHIT SHOW — Illegal Alien Is One Man Chicago Crime Wave — Arrested 3 Times Since Arriving In Chicago 3 Weeks Ago – CWB Chicago
Larry, you should of kept your mouth shut along with Pritzker about sanctuary status, now eat you know what both of you morons.
Hmm, declare Chicago a Sancutary City then call out the guard. That’s the hallmark of municipal governance genius.
Calling out the Nat’l Guard to serve these criminals, but not calling them to serve the ones shooting each other and innocent bystanders daily. Genius indeed.
I’d hang them Judge
Oh I see. Sanctuary city wants us downstaters to pay for another of Chicago’s messes
Why not call Pritzker instead? If the national guard comes in, they’ll never leave. We have our own state police force.
