-- 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.

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.

Someone needs to do a video on everything Pritzker has done for Illinois. List all the new and increased taxes/how Illinois became the abortion capitol of the Midwest/promoting transgenderism/dismal at best public schools/massive pension debt/what happens to people in the casinos that cannot afford to lose anything/his record on covid deaths/His draconian schools and small business closings while large store remained open/harboring illegal migrants costing taxpayers a billion or more due to paying more for their everyday expenses (politically connected vendors) that the typical citizen would pay. Did I miss anything? A nice long video of these would be great.

How about a video of the cook county property owners who had to pay more taxes while JB’s toilets sat on his lawn? Hows about a video… Read more »
I am no fan of Trump, but as an IL resident, how is Pritzker going to convince anyone that the state of IL is so desirable that we should go national with high taxes, poor services, a declining population, and disinterest of business in coming to IL ?
He hopes to appeal to low information, emotionally driven people.
Governor WIDE-LOAD seems to be preparing himself to run against DJT for president in 2028
How about we do a video of all the people negatively affected by Governor Happy Meal Warrior?
Yes Leftist Democrats, the Red State bailouts for IL has ended.
Cruelty. Wow – Not too over dramatic…sheesh. The first example is a guy who wanted a government job, but the employer changed their minds about whether they needed to fill the spot…gosh, THAT never happens. Sorry, it’s disappointing, but get over it and move on, blaming a potential employer for not hiring you is something everyone will have to deal with in their lives. Try not to melt snow-flake. Student Loan debt is the next one with with someone who has Student Loan debt and apparently doesn’t want to pay it back, because they have other bills – you made… Read more »
