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.

Maybe Republicans should organize an anti Pritzker rally for his pro illegal stance over US citizens, over taxation policies, and now his “Get Covered IL” to insure illegals at the expense of taxpayers and giving money to illegals for college. IL is so gerrymandered that Independent and Republican voters have no voice. Expose him nationally. Bet that wouldn’t make him look good on the national stage.
Lets give AI a chance to draw the new maps, they might do a better job.
Gov. Jelly Belly doesn’t have a single non-political bone in his body. He looks at fair maps like Dracula looks at a crucifix. His top priorities are illegals, men who want to compete as women and advancing the Democratic party at the expense of the citizens. Anyone else he tells to go take a hike. Absolutely despicable!
His top priorities are himself. All of the things you listed are merely a vehicle to secure power. Once he achieves his goals, all of the people and issues he championed will be dropped or arrested. There are many examples of this tactic playing out in communist history. Ideological utopia to a communist is always secondary to the continuous process of consolidating power and control.

You had no trouble “disarming” law abiding citizens you commie hypocrite!!
“Other Republicans piled on, including U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis (R-Taylorville), who is one of five GOP members of Illinois’ congressional delegation with an uncertain future. The U.S. Census Bureau on Monday confirmed Illinois will lose one congressional seat, and Democrats have eyed taking out Davis’ 13th district. Davis, in turn, has floated running for governor or U.S. Senate if that happens. “Governor Pritzker lied to people of Illinois, plain and simple,” Davis said in a statement Tuesday. “When he was a candidate for Governor in 2018, Pritzker made an ironclad promise to voters that he would veto any redistricting proposal… Read more »
Starting to get a little scared gub ? You’re shaking like a bowl full of jello
Pritzger is pretty slick- holding out on doing the right thing until all 50 states do.
Only Obi Wan Pierogi could claim the moral high ground on gerrymandering — when he is the worst offender. It’s like Hitler speaking out against genocide.
