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.

I don’t understand why this has stalled. With all the problems this city has this one has to rank near the top.
I saw some article that claimed DuSable was ‘B’lack with a Capital B. What a complete joke.
I am Black with a capital B.
You are a loser with a capital L
You sure are.
Who do you think they are? Moore and King just want to demand renaming. No public comments, just bullying, playing the race card and unrealistic demands. You are acting like the domestic terrorist blm Marxist organization who you support. You jammed through the ida b wells name change, you removed the statues to give into the mob after 49 cops were injured and you are just demanding and threatening like the criminals who you protect.

You should start acting civilized race baitor.
Keep on hiding in moms basement you loser. Come forward if you are so tough.

Ooh kinky blm boy.
There are millions of us and we are not going to put up with your threats much longer.
Uh huh.
Kimmy, Toni, Brown won’t allow us to arrest people. We don’t want to be the next Rialmo and Van Dyke. I’d like to help you but I can’t. When you’re a victim of a crime I promise to watch and file a report but I can’t arrest. Sorry.
Then quit your job if you can’t do it.
No!
I’m very happy about my street renaming.
You are a supporter of blm terrorists that’s why. Ida b Wells is not even close to being an icon.
I never supported terrorists.
Anyone who supports changing street names to kiss up to blm is a supporter of terrorists.
Not true.
If you just use the first letter of each name you would get JB P DS drive. Look familiar?
When is this rename everything for some black gonna end?
Who is dying in a hospital because LSD isn’t named Du Sable Drive? When was a minority denied a job, education, loan, house etc because LSD wasn’t called Du Sable Drive?
Watch it! You’re gonna get the no expiration date race card laid on you.
