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.

Why aren’t we getting vaccinated? They are going to vaccinate the permanent victim class before seniors and those compromised. This is another one of Loris games. Illinois and Chicago are over.
Bwahahahahahah. Talk to Pritzker. Bwahahahahahha
What did she say she was going to do? Talk to who?

He ain’t here and don’t care about you or your requests.
Or anybody’s request in Illinois, it’s all about him
Lightfoot- Too late, the city will never be what is was because of you!
Quit voting for dummies Chicago! More taxes, more crime ,less services
She could open if she wanted a long time ago. It is not a law for them to be closed.

The hermit king is not a leader, she’s a complainer.
Isn’t it amazing that now the Democrat leaders are pushing to reopen? See Cuomo in NY. So what changed their thinking? They have been fine with economic destruction till now. Hmmm…
The lack of a tax passage or perhaps Durban’s remarks regarding the lack of a bailout maybe.
Honestly, did you not see this coming? It was hard to see when they would pivot, but it’s right on schedule!!! (Now they just have to make the data fit the narrative). Oh, it magically will.
THANK YOU SUPREME LEADERS!!!!
“make the data fit the narrative” = we have better science now
If you want bars and restaurants to open then open them. Tell the Dictator his illegal edicts are void.
