Showdowns loom as police, prison guards and airport workers resist vaccines – CBS News

In Chicago, the union representing 13,000 police officers is advising members to ignore a mandate from Mayor Lori Lightfoot to get vaccinated against COVID-19 by Friday. If officers don't get vaccinated or agree to be tested twice a week at their own expense, the city says it'll suspend them without pay.

The unions have backed these mentioned Democrat politicians for decades. Let us see how loyal the Democrats are being to their suppporters.

The CBS story recap has two major errors – the kind of thing we’ve come to expect from the main stream media: the FOP does not represent 12,000 CPD officers and at no time has the head of the FOP told officer not to be vaccinated. He asked them not to fill out the vaccine status report.

Why couldn’t Lori just duplicate Porky’s method by kicking the deadline into the future and avoid all the drama. She could even set the deadline to 2050 like the lead line replacement. Kick it to 2150! Nobody will care! Lori would prefer to look like a coward!

This is the type of action needed by state legislators. Once a handful of key states start moving in this direction the tyranny of states like IL, CA, NY, and others will only become more glaring.

Anything that continues to wake up the sheep is a good thing.

The past 18 months have never been about health.

Our first responders have worked the last 18 months during the pandemic on the front lines of the situation. Now they are expendable because they exercise their discretion as it relates to being forced to take an experiment vaccine? This has absolutely nothing to do with their health.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
