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.

I guess Pritzker and his minions consider us all as simply Illinois residents. Apparently, there are no illegals. Huh.
They are called Criminal Illegal Aliens. Period. Anything else is a Democrat AKA Communist lie. Any one who repeats their lie is a stooge and/or a sucker. Deport them all now down to the very last Abuela.
Looks like Illinois is going to make it a bit more rigorous to qualify as a drivers ed teacher, than it is to get your license. The timing for this bill becoming a national story couldn’t be better.
Eliminating the meaning of citizen one BS policy at a time.
What fresh insanity is this?
Stupid chickens! (My apologies to the chickens.)
To quote Dirty Harry:”Marvelous!”
When is Pritzker going to put US citizens safety first. Now he’s creating jobs for illegals at the expense of safety.
This is about as stupid as it gets. The recent case in Florida should illustrate the absolute stupidity in this action. Again – it makes NO sense.
No, but at least he’s consistent.
