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.

Obama politics and crime ? Wasn’t it his wife Michelle who called Foxx to get Jussie the lying out of work actor a pass on his crimes ?
Axlerod is right, except that while we need more police to go with proper states attorney work, idiots like Johnson don’t want more police. He’d likely knock down CPD to just the 159 cops in his detail. So who dies Axlerod think is going to sign on to the idea of more cops. Spread the crime around Preckwinkle and protect criminals and illegals Gov. SAFE—T Act?
Pritzker = Elmer Fudd.
And we know how each Bugs Bunny cartoon ends.
Apparently Pritzker doesn’t.
Axelrod is going to have to speak to Pritzker as if he’s a 5 year old if he wants JB to understand this.
You must admit how funny this situation is. The whole world sees what Trump is doing except for Pritzker, who is still chasing the “wascawwy wabbit.”
So how does Trump get off on Fox with playing politics with Chicago crime?
