-- 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. Audio here.
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.

It’s all stupid talking points. How long before chubby cheeks starts mentions Project 2025, the left’s boogeyman that gets absolutely zero traction.
Just when you think Daddy Pritzker has said and done it all, he reaches down real deep to say something incredibly stupid as he panders for someone just as stupid in Kamala Wala Bala. The collection of Blue State Gov’s in America is a real rogues gallery, perhaps with Daddy Pritzker taking the clown prize.
Pritzker is a clown. He may not be able to fit into the clown car, but he is still nothing more than a clown. Nobody is buying his claim about Kamala changing her policy, because she never had a border policy in the first place. She’s a bigger idiot than JB, at least figuratively.
Harris is not adapting her policies. She’s saying whatever is popular to win. That border bill lets in 5000 migrants a day. Venezuelans are not included in that number. Then she wants to make them all citizens.
This is DAMNING:
ICE Drops a Bombshell
https://www.nationalreview.com/the-morning-jolt/ice-drops-a-bombshell/
“U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement just revealed that the agency’s docket included more than 662,000 illegal immigrants who either had a criminal conviction or were awaiting a verdict in a criminal case, including more than 13,000 convicted murderers, more than 15,000 convicted of sexual assault, more than 2,500 convicted of kidnapping, and more than 62,000 convicted of assault… “sanctuary” policies can end up shielding dangerous criminals, who often victimize those same communities… Two states had particularly strong and comprehensive laws protecting immigrants, and fell into the most protective category: Oregon and ILLINOIS…”
How many are welcome on Astor Street? Just asking.
This man will say anything to get what he wants. He is looking for a cabinet position with the Screw Ball Ditz administration. Massive migration…what a jack ass. We can stop the “massive migration” at the F-ing boarder and then they have to go somewhere else. This is the single most destructive event perpetrated on the American People in history. The effects of this will negatively impact every aspect of daily life for actual citizens for decades. I do not understand how the election race could be even close, there must be some really brainwashed morons out there. This fatman… Read more »
What in heavens name is Pritzker stumping for now? A cabinet position perhaps should Kamala be elected? Once again he parrots the team line billowing out the word salad Democrats have been using recently to somehow blame the situation on Trump and despite Pritzker’s jabber we here in Illinois see many of the actual real problems that Pritzker tries to hide. Interestingly enough Pritzker, who goes on at length about immigration issues, seemingly ignores the legacy of the Hart-Celler Immigration Act, thank you LBJ, that we now live under. Naturally team player Pritzker will not finger point to that Immigration… Read more »
Leave it to JB to put a “ these things happen “ face on a crisis accelerated by Biden/Harris telling illegals to flock here in the fall of 2020 and then Joe tasking Kamala with handing the problem by edict in March 2021( and doing absolutely nothing; she’s been to the border exactly twice ) . The virtue signaling by Dems such as Playa and Adams in NYC isn’t going so well, but let’s just say “ it’s one of those things “ to the taxpayers being robbed blind.
