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.

Right. Trump made those buses unreliable and far too costly to justify their use. Trump made Lion go to the edge of bankruptcy. Why does Trump hate electricity so much? Round boy wants to know.
Governor WIDE-LOAD still blaming DJT for his (JB) screw ups, and mayor racist is still blaming Richard M. Nixon for his(BJ) screw ups.
Pritzker once again demonstrating that he can never admit he was wrong. I guess Trump is so good he doesn’t even need to be in office to drive change. Now that’s power.
Didn’t this obese POS get the memo? TDS no longer sells. The BS about Trump and the sky falling no longer flies with people outside of Illinois. It only continues to sell with the absolute morons, slaves, pond scum and brain dead leeches that constitute Illinois’ population.
More carnival barking from a Kremlin lackey.
It is a small person who refuses to take responsibility and instead blames others for their own shortcomings. Any employee who came into my office and shifted blame for a failed assignment they were responsible for was soon looking for a new job. Voters should remember this next election.
Who is the fool who down voted this?
JB the Hutt blames President Trump when one of his hemorrhoids bursts and punches a hole in a nearby wall. The complete lack of a market for what the Climate Clerics are selling matters not to devotees of the Climate Religion. And who cares? It’s only the taxpayers’ money.
This guy JB is just too funny. So it is Trump’s fault.? The lack of demand for the product has nothing to do with it. The lousy range way short of promises made to customers. The crummy maintenance history. The high cost compared to diesel. None of those are factors. Very funny JB.
Let’s discuss all the taxpayers money that has been wasted Pritzker let’s start there and stop blaming past administrations for your failures, what part don’t you understand that demand is not there, school districts should be sued by the taxpayers for there malfeasance in buying these EV monsters.Pritzker I understand they are coming out with a EV clown car. By they way Pritzker does your disappointment have anything to do with your investments in Lion, hum.
School districts and teachers unions should be sued for turning out students who are not educated.
