-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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. Audio here.
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.

The noose was attached to a light socket. Pull the “noose” and turn the light on or off. A hate crime symbol for sure.
Work on the Obama Temple is suspended because of a piece of rope? Or was it twine? Or cord? Or wire? Or string? Who knows???
How silly is that? Or are they looking to gin up more donations to counter this bit of ‘hate?’
The whole topic is nonsense. Pregnancy crisis centers are vandalized and … crickets. A so-called noose is seen at the Temple site, and BANG! Hateful symbol!
How transparent can they be?
“Video surveillance is being reviewed, but no camera shows exactly where the noose was found, according to a police source.”
Of course there’s no video, who records their fake hate-crime?
Any pictures of this noose? Construction site having things there that look like a noose wouldn’t be uncommon. $100,000 reward to find the perpetrator, awful brave of them to put that much money up for a reward. What’s the reward if you help solve a murder????
Anybody who works with their hands,does gardening,boating,etc… has used what could be described in today’s standards as a noose.
Another racial attack in Lightfoot’s Chicago, in Pritzker’s Illinois, in Biden’s America. Shameful
I find the Obama center itself a hateful symbol.
