-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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. Audio here.
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.

Pritzker do you even realize nobody likes you and you policies
Other than the majority (54 percent) of Illinois voters? lol.
Apparently Fed up thinks he and his immediate acquaintances are “everybody,” but you’ve shown him otherwise. The strongest belief any given person has isn’t necessarily true at all.
LOL the 800,000 midterm voters that hadn’t shown up for a gubernatorial election in 50 years? Sure
Here’s still another story about changing the border lines in Idaho.

How rich from the Gov who has personally done more to disenfranchise voters than any Gov I can think of in the last 25 years.
It is not just Illinois counties but many other parts of the country.

“We’re one state, supporting each other,” Gov. JB Pritzker said.”
Speak for yourself fatman. I will never make common cause with Leftist scum such as yourself.
The alienator in chief is responsible for the division in this state. It’s his way or no way at all as far as he is concerned, and since he is an extremist, that makes it impossible to unite this state. Talk is cheap, and his arrogance in every public speech is undeniable. Nothing could be further from the truth than his “one Illinois” BS.
He stands for the same thing Obiden stands for………HIMSELF…..
Too bad JB you morbidly obese communist, we hate you even more than you hate us.
