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.

Reminiscent of the Native American leaders that stepped forward re the Washington Redskins name change. Some of them said that they had no problem with the logo/ name and were unaware how many true Native Americans actually did. It seems that a few SJW’s are trying to tell the various nations what is good for them.
There are a bunch of things more pressing than worrying about renaming a state park that actually reflects an event in Native American history or is a part of the Native American culture. Woke people destroying history.
