-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
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.

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.

Open up now Mr Governor, the pandemic is over. I will never take any vaccine for COVID. Liberals, Illinois Democrats who work for the government (and sadly that is most people including many here on Wire points I have found out) If one does not like mask mandates coming to a close, then keep YOUR mask on. If one does not like schools reopening back up, then HOME-SCHOOL your kids, and teachers FIND another profession. If one does not like (private owned) restaurants opening at 100% capacity, then EAT at home. YOU do YOU and I’ll do ME. That is… Read more »
Good one Wolfnight!
Pseudo Scientific jibber jabber. Governor Co-Morbidity is incapable of admitting his lawless “emergency orders” were and are an abject failure. Open the schools.
Moving the goal posts again never ends with this activist (Pritzker) what bothers me is people are going along with this, for some reason people think Pritzker is a god remember 2022 vote this clown out of office. Reason, his companies are making millions upon millions with this so called flu outbreak. Legislators in Illinois you are just as bad for not intervening and stopping this activist dictator. And for the doctor (Ezike) what a joke you do make a great actor, does Pritzker coach you before every news conference, how about it Ezike a one on one with a… Read more »
He needs to have what is happening to Newsom–He needs to be recalled.
The doctor is an actress.
Exactly and Newsome is worried that he is done for, and as for Ezike all she is is a puppet on a string for the puppet master Pritzker.
How do we recall The Governor?
Wirepoints – do you know?
I am in if you are in.

The vaccine is not a vaccine. You can not force someone to get a jab when it is under emergency authorization. Those who get the jab are test animals. There are ingredients in the jab (ALL OF THEM NOT JUST ONE) that can cause blood clots and and adjust one’s reaction to future health issues. There are ingredients in it that can cause allergies and bad reactions. People need to look into this before going blindly to get the JAB.
Absolutely right. All the vaccines remain in the “experimental phase”. Matter of FACT, before anyone else tells me to take it.
My Aunt in the UK took the Astra Zeneca and suffered reactions, including a blood clot. She was 100% healthy and is going on 87.
I am shocked at how many people who have taken the vaccine are TELLING me to take it. Bugger off.
Imagine how many more people in the UK and in the states are suffering adverse side effects and we’re not being told about it, just think, a perfect drug in under 18 months something smells fishy. Also does it make you wonder why the U.S military is not mandating its men and woman in the armed forces to take the vaccines tells ya something hey.
