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.

Pritz wants to do everything for every “ community “ … except for the “ communities “ paying the bills. Don’t want to work? Here’s free rental assistance, food and other assistance. Not a legal immigrant? Have all of the above and then some. Wanted an abortion or trans surgery and can’t afford it? We’ll pay for it, even if you’re from out of state . There’s nothing end to Fatso’s largesse with other people’s money. A disgusting socialist/ progressive/ Dem hog.

what kind of clown downvotes this? Its in committee and its a serious issue
Pritzker is having a representative do his dirty work there’s no other way to put it, he doesn’t want to tarnish himself to much before his big presidential run. As for the downvotes who knows, but I’m damn sick and tired of my constitutional rights being trampled on especially by this state., eventually this will all come to a head.
