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.

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.

Governor Pritzker’s COVID-19 lockdown strategy is awful. He does not accept a strategy whereby the economy, places of worship, schools, athletics, etc. are kept open as much as possible given the number of available hospital beds and icu’s.

Next on the agenda Pritzker appoints himself God almighty demanding you pray to him.
What about those who worship Satan? Seems like most pols attend those gatherings. Look at all the laws they passed like abortion. The news said that when ACB was confirmed and may have a say in Roe v Wade if overturned or limited Illinois will become a destination for abortions.
Yes – there is a Satanic overtone of this whole Co-Scam. It’s cover for all the anti-God, anti-Western laws and values, anti-humanity agenda. Know this and continue to witness it in all the details.
Until the human revolt occurs.
We’re at the point where this man needs to be thrown out of office. By force if necessary.
Pritzker’s religion doesn’t mean anything to him–obviously.
There is a thing called the First Amendment. He wants to crush that and then continue with the rest.
You are correct.
Then, the audacity of Pritzger and others who call Peaceful Protesters Racists because of their signs.
Seems like(it is) someone’s actions here are right out of the Communist/Marxist “Playbook”
