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.

Preventing the people from having a choice, gerrymandering, funding the campaigns of the opposition in primaries…..the Democrats which claim to be so virtuous are really just power hungry, and will use every dirty trick in the book to get it and keep it. And now that their little secret about Dementia Joe’s true state of mind was displayed for all to see last week, they are freaking out. It is fun to see. Any independent voter should be asking questions. Why did they lie to me? What else are they hiding? Would they really steal an election?
People are fed up with Democratic leadership, but the state unions and the DNC control the election process to keep another party from winning (think HB2412). Biden won Illinois in 2020 with 58% of the vote. Now that the people of Illinois have experienced Bidenomics, inflation, and open borders, some will switch to Trump, but many will not vote for him regardless. If the vote were split, there is a possibility that Trump could win. Therefore, the DNC will ensure Kennedy is not on the ballot. As Pritzker said about HB2412, “It is a dirty trick”
When you uncover the reality about Democrats, the -1 / -2 thumbs down represent the far-left operatives who monitor Wirepoints. They exemplify the lengths to which the Illinois Public Unions, Legislature, Governor, and Courts plutocratic cartel will go to preserve their minority grip on power in Illinois.
This status quo has grown and persisted for over 50 years. It’s time for taxpayers to recognize how they’ve been exploited and reclaim this beautiful state for the majority of its residents.
Meh. Robert Kennedy is as much a disaster as the two main party candidates.
He is a disgusting person
So you call me a bully and then you proceed to call another person “disgusting” within a few minutes. lol.
Dems are afraid Kennedy will take votes from Biden
The defenders of democracy at work ; )
