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.

Junkies in a library, that tells a story about the state of our society under liberal guidance.
And globohomo in the children’s section too. The entire institution of librarianship has been taken over by the communist with the goal of warping children’s minds. The little old lady librarian has been replaced by the childless, young they/them with purple hair and a globohomo flag lapel on their shirt. I’m all for destroying the library system and building it up from scratch. Sometimes, you have to destroy something to save it.
Free porn vids on public computers as well no matter who is around.

My employer has an office in the Evanston Public Library. Because of recent incidents with disruptive and threatening homeless, we now keep our office door locked at all times. People used to be able to walk in anytime to utilize our nice resources, now they must make confirmed appointments. Hardly a “welcoming environment”, but that is what it has come to…
Needless to say, the public restrooms are a scary mess, with bums shooting up, camping, etc…
The EPL Director says this is all in the guise of “equity”, natch..,!!!
Spot on, I’m scared shipless to use the bathroom in my branch.
