Stephen Maynard Caliendo, a political science professor at North Central College in Naperville, said while Pritzker has always been a vocal leader, it seems to have “ramped up” in Trump’s second term. “It appears to me that he sees an opportunity to capture the American imagination a bit."

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.

For a supposedly ‘non-partisan’ news source, the Capitol News’ Ben Szalinski lifts his skirt, revealing his DNC skivvies with this puff piece. Benny has plenty of company at Capitol News though. Perusing the gamut of Capitol News offerings reveals a pattern of DNC puff pieces that would make the WaPo blush.
