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.

Oh, really epithet hurling Trust Fund baby? All your hot air re “ carnval barkers “, Nazis “ etc. was all just fun and games? Face it Lardo, you’re one of many in a party chock full of extremists that resort to violence when you can’t silence contrary opinions. Any leftist rally that has monitors at the ready to whisk people away asking questions is testament to that mentality.

If it has to end shut your fat mouth Pritzker your nothing but a antagonist
