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.

He defends it then declare a disaster proclamation what a asshole you are Pritzker
Are they migrants or refugees. If migrants they are illegally here and should be bussed home. If refugees, then refugee camps till conditions in their home country improves or they choose to go home.
There are no refugees. They’re all economic migrants and Biden is allowing an invasion. A proper country would throw this old man in prison the rest of his life for treason. But instead they celebrate Dark Brandon memes as he focuses his ire on the My Pillow guy.
Public school buildings could be repurposed, in part or in whole, as ideal housing for illegal aliens and homeless. 1. The buildings are up to code, as we know is required by law. 2.

The Slob is worth $33 billion, he owns Hyatt Hotels. Set the illegals up in his hotels and he can pay for them.
Ok Texas, you’ve made your point, thank you…
Now, please stop sending more (D) voters, Chicago has more than enough…

There were absolutely NO hotels available in Chicago? Burr Ridge didn’t vote for Lightfoot and her ridiculous policies.
The slob owns Hyatt, he has 1000’s of rooms he should provide for free.
Are they being sent to Hyatt group hotels?
JB needs some of those “Your Tax Dollars Signs” made up and placed outside of his Hyatt hotels.
A great new way for the hotels to become bedbug infested the Illinois way
Pritzker had better get used to it – more buses on the way.
there isn’t enough room at hotels in the city of Chicago
That doesn’t even pass the giggle test:
There are more than 140 hotels and 45,000 rooms in Chicago’s central business district, according to Choose Chicago, the city’s official tourism arm
It doesn’t matter, Pritzker just had to virtue signal; he couldn’t help himself. It’s Lori! She had an epiphany ! Too many freeloaders for limited resources.
