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.

Well, Rich Miller and his blog commenters say he wasn’t lying, so…
Rich Miller writes like a bought and paid for shill.
That’s because he is a bought and paid for shill.
The rules are starting to change…
Being held accountable for what you say or do is making a comeback…
Look at all the leftist losing good jobs & positions due to their emotional irrationality…
They need to wake up to the fact that their belief system/worldview is base upon lies…
J(ail) B(ird) needs a biscuit!
He is just not good for IL.
The Democrat AKA Communist loyal propaganda media will back up this lie. Too bad for JB that the interwebs is forever and his daddy’s $4Billion can not purchase it.
JB only lies or eats when his lips are moving.
Note how the Illinois press is ignoring the hypocrisy and dishonesty in Pritzker’s denial of his earlier comments.
Exactly. The Media allows JB to bloviate ad nauseam without Ever calling him out on it as it comes out of his mouth. Fortunately, there is prior audio evidence to call him out on, just like there was with his audiotaped conversations with then Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
