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.

Democide
Big nose Merrick Garfinkle refuses to engage ATF ( or is it AFT?) for National Firearms Act violations (NFA) in Cook County while President Bidet furnishing obscene quantities of small arms to Ukraine without public oversight. Jungle bunny Eric Holder shipped small arms to Mexican drug barons and one was used to murder a US patrol agent. Both of these communist gangsters are accessories to murder. Remember them when the balloon goes up!
Tim for another probe of Fake Prosecutor Kim Foxx
Prosecutors are overworked and Chicago courtrooms are understaffed, so we’re told.

Can’t have that sort of thing going on…….
