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.

This is what the Marxist in Illinois have time to worry about.
“Father” Pfleger just dropped a duece.
Flag burning was upheld by the Supreme Court as a first amendment right. Is an upside down flag any different?
No, it’s protected by the First Amendment. And it’s not even a sign of disrespect, just a universally recognized sign of distress.
The upside down flag is not not done in disrespect it is a patriotic symbol of the distress this country and this state is currently in.
Instead of waisting time on useless laws why doesn’t the legislature tackle the real problems of the state like ethics, high taxes, crime, poor school result, etc. Stop the gaslighting.
AMEN
City governments should be able to do as they please.
Kudos to Homer Township!
