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.

Let us not forget that Oak Brook is a fine Democrat party voting area that voted for the open border concept. The citizenry there should be basking in their election successes including the prompt release from lawful detainment of the shoplifters so that they can quickly return to the Oak Brook shopping areas again.
After being released from custody using a fake name, address, birth date etc, how many will show up for the court date given to them? Odds are none. SAFET act working as planned.
Get it right Police Chief: They are called CRIMINAL ILLEGAL ALIENS.
This is 100% on Pritzker. He invited these illegal immigrants in and his no bail BS law sets these pieces of trash free as soon as they’re arrested. Prosecutors recommended detaining them and judges don’t listen. You can bet for every one of these thugs that are caught, there are many getting away with valuable merchandise they immediately sell. Macy’s is going to close this store soon enough. Pritzker is simply pathetic.
Deport them immediately.
