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.

Other than politics and starting an investment company using the billions of his inherited money what has he done? He has a law degree, ever use it? Prosecutor? Defense counsel? Public defender? Private attorney? Has he ever had a real job, actually requiring showing up at an office and being there doing something for the whole day? Has he ever had to be responsible for producing an actual work product? He’s a nothing, a fat entitled rich kid who has relied on the billions handed to him through his family ties. A phony, hollow, useless dolt.
Never forget Penny Pritzker’s role in bankrupting Superior Bank.
I noticed in the mentions of Democrat’s avenues of avoiding taxes they did not report former Missouri Senator Claire Mccaskill’s (D) parking of the family airplane at the Cahokia Illinois airport to escape the Missouri Personal Property tax similar to the mentioned Kerry parking his yacht in a lower taxed state. Oh so typical of Democrats wanting more taxes for us but not for themselves.
I do not understand how the Jewish Pritzker’s can be so anti Jewish.
Guess it isn’t just JB. The whole family sucks
