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.

Since when would Pritzker stand up for a Republican? At least IL GOPers are smart enough to realize that line of crap. Reap what you sow JB – you are on your own.
What the hell is he doing in Minneapolis? Getting stupid ideas from Tampon Tim? Or giving some to him?
As concerned as JB is about problems in Illinois, you would think he would be here in Illinois trying to solve them instead of Minnesota!
Pritzker has to go to Minneapolis because he’s loosing support in IL. His illegal voters are being deported. People are leaving the far left Democratic party and the state.
Enforcing the laws of this country is not wrong, it is what real leaders do. You cannot pick and choose which laws to follow and which to ignore.
Generally speaking you run into problems when you don’t follow the law…something liberal politicians never realize.
Why would they Pritzker they (GOP) in Illinois also realize you are now a domestic terrorist and a threat to our country.
Nice gibberish.
