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.

No mention of the enormous increase in fentanyl coming up from Biden’s open southern border. The media is ignoring the increase. There are cases of fentanyl overdoses and deaths all over Illinois, all of it can be traced back to the open southern border. The Mexican Cartels get the fentanyl from China gangs, and then they distribute into America. Pritzker and Democrats are directly aiding and abetting the Mexican drug cartels!!!
Wasn’t some alderman’s family in the IDs business? Hmmmm. Has JB ever held a job? Has he ever been employed in any capacity that wasn’t a family business? Has he ever had a job that required work? I doubt JB or Lori have ever worked or had a hand in raising children! It’s the only explanation why they’re so blind about problem creep.
Problem creep is the tool of democrap authoritarian governments. Totally intentional.
Honorable Gov. cares about helping illegal immigrants, but has ruined the lives of many more citizens without so much as a shrug…all the while taking extra servings of privilege for himself.
You mean the people who have violated federal law by entering the country illegally? Those people?
Those would be illegals.
Works harder for those without documentation than for the legal Illinois citizen.
Democraps love foreign voters
