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.

He speaks to the teacher’s unions because he knows they cannot read and don’t understand math…
His safest voting block.
Wow! Classless, ignorant, corrupt and stupid all rolled into one! That’s why the state is in the condition it’s in. Very sad!
Dear Toliet Bowl King,
in this video you look like you were shot at and missed, sh_ t on and hit. Watch that hypertension
and cholesterol Bunky.
I’m sorry American. This embarrassing. He’s trying to be the cool dad. We can all see he’s just a pitiful, lonely guy looking for acceptance, who will say anything you want him to, just so you don’t make fun of him. So sad.
Pritzker seems to have no self-awareness of how extreme and kooky he looks to America. I guess this is the Democrat party now, with folks like Fetterman the voice of reason.
You got a lotta class, JB!.
Lucky Pottymouth is a big fish, perhaps even a whale in his pond of lickspittle, fawning sycophants, but doesn’t dare venture out of his safe spaces without a security detail because even he knows he’s roundly detested by those not in servitude to him.
This guy can spin shit faster than he can spin spaghetti on a fork. But than again look at the group he’s talking to. Surprised they didn’t want the speech by zoom
Funny, he mentions the ‘improving’ test scores…
Conveniently leaving out how they have ‘lowered’ the standards…
And the clueless IL sheep will continue to happily munch on the grass of his lies…
I guess the Democrats believe it has become stylish and “in with the cool kids” for even the governor of the state of Illinois to publicly curse when referring to their opposition or really anyone who has a different point of view. All this guy wants is attention, his ideas stink, the state is all but financially bankrupt, he has lead the charge in so many failed bills and spending antics…the only way he can get attention is to cuss on TV and hope the media replays it. Any publicity is good. It just shows how superficial and unserious he… Read more »
Exactly…
Rather than have a ‘two-way’ dialog, he just pompously & vulgarly dismisses the opposition…
Like ‘Da Judge’ said – “Profanity is a weak minds attempt to express itself.”
Bingo! Very well said. The expletives don’t bother me nearly as much as his policies, which may lead to Pritzker Derangement Syndrome. His lax approach to crime, his insistence that the state and schools have a role in trans kids ahead of parents is insane, it should be a matter between kids, parents, and doctors. He laments culture wars in schools and elsewhere while fomenting them. Opposing deportation of criminal illegals is clearly placing them above public safety and citizens and legal residents where resources come in. His fiscal and cultural destruction are awful.
Spot on this time. @&#King Trump does not respect the Constitution or the Bill of Rights. He will go down in history as the worst president of all time.
Biden, aka DEMENTIA JOE, will have that title
And listen to how the teachers union cheered. Sorry, but that’s not the kind of language I want used by people teaching my kids.
Profanity is a weak minds attempt to express itself.
His Largeness is a sorry excuse for an American!!
Your first sentence tries to appeal to our better angels as some express such things, but you immediately follow it with a teenager-style denigrating remark. That’s both disappointing and a bit strange coming from the same person. Does who you are change from one minute to the next? Are you Jekyll or do you prefer to Hyde from time to time?
His comment was thrown out in a speech to the teachers’ union, all in the context of grooming the young ones and exposing them to sexualized gender nonsense in the schools.The man’s a disgusting sick freak.
Public teachers union big fing deal I’m so scared, Pritzker looks like his blood pressure is up and again as usual with beloved Pritzker he is lying through his ass, 2026 send this tyrant packing. Absolutely disgusting Pritzker you leftist pig.
