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.

I read it on Lake/McHenry County Scanner and was immediately suspicious as to the time chosen and the fact no one was arrested so no mugshots, names and addresses of the “alleged protesters” would be revealed. I wouldn’t be surprised if the “protesters” weren’t actually pro hamas but supporters of Netanyahu, Smotrich, Gvir, AIPAC and United Democracy Project instead… I don’t support apartheid, genocide and ethnic cleansing no matter who is doing it
Arab Muslims in the Middle East drove all the Christian Arabs out of Palestine and Jordan in the 60’s and 70’s with the same vicious behavior they currently use on the people of Israel. They do not deserve our support.
Brad Schneider getting first elected was right about the time Lake County flipped into the woke cesspool it remains today.
Where can I donate to the protesters! Maybe I’ll show up and bring them coffee and donuts.
The protesters think “river to the sea” means the Chicago River to the Atlantic Ocean. Pelosi and Hakeem Jeffries toady Schneider follows their script as well as anyone without grasping the long term consequences of the House Dem agenda. Maybe some folks in his district will wake up and see what their esteemed congressman is doing to them.
Brad supports the leftist agenda, which has been quite happy to call for defunding the police. Remember that when you vote next time. As for the protesters, you become more unpopular by the day. You only turn people against you and your cause. When you chant “from the river to the sea” people are going to choose the other side every time.
@ Ex Illini, Read this and reflect on your current opinion… https://www.thenation.com/article/world/its-time-to-confront-israels-version-of-from-the-river-to-the-sea/
You are on the losing side. Deal with it.
Please forward said article to the hostages still being by Hamas.
Chickens came home to roost for left-wing phony “bipartisan” Brad Schneider.
