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.

Getting ready for another run at Pritzker’s progressive tax increase.
There is no compromise – you must leave!
Only way Pritzker knows how to win because his qualifications sure as hell dont
To be honest I am surprised it has taken this long, however I assume now the Official Government Workers Party have found a way to cheat they will roll this out in as many states as they can.
I believed they would have cheated last November on the Governor’s tax vote; he will be as deeply upset as Hillary Clinton was.
Democrats will do anything to ensure the ability to cheat. In a state like Illinois one would think that they already had the Voting fraud down pat.
Absolutely hilarious. “Assuring voter safety is paramount”– is this a joke? So in twelve months when the virus paranoia is gone, what is the “safety ” issue going to be then? Shootings and gunfire”. In a state and city where ballot cheating is a given, this just makes the voting process even more corrupt.
Our rotund Governor needs to rig the game in his own favor even more, because inherited billions weren’t advantage enough. USSA all the way…what a bad joke. Can pets vote too? Need id to buy a beer, drive a car, rent an apartment, but sure, hey, why the ef have honest elections? Opposition candidates had better wake up and take this tool box away. Losing our democracy is not a joke.
Stuff away.
A new polling place just opened in the cemetery near my house.
Why not cheat more?
Why because the way they commit fraud today isn’t good enough?
