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.

Hmm, 16 times in less than 2 years? Thanks Dems.
This guy is trouble all day long. Send him back, but micro chip the little bugger so we know if he ever comes back.
What in the world are Crook County authorities doing to keep us safe?
Appears obviously NOTHING!
All these arrests, charges dropped, minimum lockup, why?
🙏 This habitual criminal gets to that wonderful prison in El Salvador!
How long before the bleeding heart libs and politicians start a go fund me page and protest this sweet boys arrest? In my opinion they should have left the prick in the streets to continue to terrorize the people who agree with this nonsense
Just another example of Dems and their BS naming of a law such as the SAFE T Act. Safe for the criminal act would be a better name because the public surely isn’t safe from these habitual criminals.
They came for one of Pritzker’s people!
