“In 1960, my parents immigrated to Chicago, Dad from communist Poland, Mom from Ecuador. They came here for a better life. Today, politicians like JB Pritzker are behaving just like those politicians my parents fled,” Dabrowski said in the ad, which was aired after the third quarter of Sunday’s Chicago Bears game.

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.

“In 1960, my parents immigrated to Chicago, Dad from communist Poland, Mom from Ecuador. They came here for a better life.” Sounds like the same reason many of the immigrants who are being taken by ICE would say.
That’s why the illegals today who are claiming political asylum are fraudulent. Some immigrants played by the rules and others didn’t. The illegals are line-jumpers who are stealing a spot.
Mark should the law apply to everyone equally? Well, it is not that way in the USA.

I have always said this “The rich are better than the poor, always have been, always will be.” Poor Central American immigrants who work hard at jobs Americans will not take are punished. Just who do you think is providing labor for our food supply chain, fresh fruits & vegetables and meat packing plants?
Good. It’s important for people to know that there are families in this country who have lived through Communism and can recognize similarities between the Communists and the Democrats.
Marxists at the Trib confused by the results in countries they like and policies they endorse.
If there weren’t dumb Marxists, there would be no Marxists at all.
Ted, keep the pedal down!
It’s the Tribune “reporters” making the false comparison. Pritzker has specifically invoked the Holocaust and called all his opponents fascists and Nazis. Dabrowski has said no such thing.
Are you suggesting that the Tribune, after likely accepting millions of dollars in campaign ad buys from the governor, went on to publish a bad-faith attack piece on his Republican opponent? Impossible!
