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.

Why did Pritzker send his family to Florida to live during the so called pandemic?
So freedom and rational governance is dangerous and hateful?
Pritzker is a walking colostomy bag. A full one!
Quick, get the fat man’s inhalers! He’s clearly panicking, coming apart at the seams at the prospect of a real presidential candidate being in Illinois. How dare anyone state a thought the fat man doesn’t approve of!!
July 2022 ABC 7 report:
“””—For the second time in a month, Gov. Pritzker is traveling out of state to be a keynote speaker at a Democratic gathering. This time in Florida, the backyard of Republican Governor Ron DeSantis, who is also considered a potential presidential contender.—“””
JBP clearly feels threatened by DeSantis speaking in IL…

In thatt case the fat slob needs to sell his estate in Florida, the one he flew his family to while the state of IL was locked down and nobody could travel.
In the peabrain mind of Pritzker this is Round 1 of the 2024 Presidential Campaign. Of course born-on-third-base-and-arrogantly-thinking-he-hit-a-triple Fatboy is way too dense to realize that DeSantis will crush him. But still….Round 1 paid for by the chumbolone taxpayers of Illinois.
What a jackass Pritzker is
I don’t think he understands, or cares, how authoritarian he looks when he whines about other people saying things he doesn’t like.
He walks with the WEF so naturally he talks the same.
I hope Pritzker really makes a special effort to speak loudly and often about the extent to which JB believes DeSantis is “dangerous and hateful.” If I’m DeSantis, nothing I like better than an opportunity to compare what happens in Florida to what’s becoming of Illinois. Immigration, taxes, crime, unemployment, diversity, tourism, schools, pension funding & public debt – if I’m DeSantis, and planning on running against Democrats for the Presidency, I like nothing better than JB making a daily national spectacle out of himself trying to keep me from speaking in Illinois. Just thinking about the news & editorial… Read more »
Fatass can’t understand why police support leaders whom support the police — that does not include cop hating, crime enabling, Illinois democrat shit-stains
