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.

“Just 9 percent of respondents in November and December said they felt the city was “heading in the right direction,””
What percentage of these respondents feel the city hasn’t gone progressive enough? That seems to be source of most Democrat’s feelings about Washington DC.
Yet these perople voted for the individuals that caused this mess. They deserve what they voted for.
The city of Chicago is on a jet sled to hell. You don’t have to be intelligent to see it. The only question now is will it drag the suburbs with it?
Being Woke has quantifiable consequences!
Progs don’t really like you.
They’ll crack down on crime after they’ve chased away everyone they hate.
Which is everyone not like themselves.
Leaver Chicago peeps! Simple the dems will not protect you!
Leave your liberal views in the city as well!
