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.

All police should quit in Illinois and move to a state that appreciates you, pick any red state, way better for you officers and also your pension system is bankrupt so you wont be getting any retirement from Illinois, so leave, the moron people who live in Chicago love the criminals way better
Godspeed Officer Huesca!
Hope they find his killers.
Just as I hope they find all of the killers of the other victims.
19% of Illinoisans voted.
Wouldn’t hold my breathe on that one, last time they found a criminal they all burned down cities all across the nation and then declared him a “saint”. I’m sure if they find the killer, mayor brainless BJ and fake president Brandon will fly them out to Washington DC and give them a medal of freedom along with psycho Obammy
CPD responded because of the racist Shot Spotter alert. Good thing BJ is moving to rid Chicago of this technology after the DNC convention! SMH
A key point “after the election.”
Miraculously after shot spotter will be gone there will be an official announcement that there are zero shootings in Chitcongo now…..”democrat statistics”
This is not “Gun Violence” – this is people violence. This is gang violence. This is what “Equity” and “Soft on Crime” accomplishes. Tragedy. May his soul rest in peace.
Democrats will come out with “rifle discipline” advisory so the “rifles” dont grow up to be “assault rifles”
They are not soft on crime, they are pro crime
Took hours for Mayor to acknowledge this murder, and when his written statement finally released – mere milquetoast.
Terrible event. My condolences to his family and friends, and his neighbors and fellow police officers.
RIP to the fallen officer and condolences to his family.
Things are bad now and they’re only going to get worse.
Yes it will….. cause demrats want to take the guns from the good guys and let criminals go free!! and who ever is doing the thumbs down DON’T cause you know i’m right!!
Exactly correct Chris, the freakshow leftist morons who are now for palestine should be immediately drafted to go fight for palestine and front lines against Russia, that will take care of the problem pretty easily
