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.

Get the woman to a barber. Business community can’t take someone seriously when they present themselves groomed as circus clown; not an “equity” issue, not a “cultural bias” issue.
Dear Lord, Help Us.
This idiots twitter feed is full of blm anti American, pro black activism, anti white retweets. She needs to be talked to.
Another program, another budget, more employees and at a time when the State is broke…where does it ever end?
Nzinga states– “The finish line is equity.”?
Or in other words, the final goal is not equality for ALL but an endless equity handout rewards for the few. This is the new Illinois dem machine government model, where you have those of the Illinois gov upper class, with their GUARANTEED- jobs, benifits and outlandish pensions, who live in a dreamy world where by and large debt & accountability is always somebody elses problem dictating and picking equity hustle winners and looseres from us peasantry who have NO GUARANTEES for whom words like debt, accruals, value, thrift, economy still matter.

Has the look of a Labradoodle.
Don’t insult labradoodles
So that’s the State’s new ‘thought leader’? That’s just frightening.
The concept of a State “thought leader” in itself is truly frightening.
From the way that crazy person looks, I wouldn’t allow her to walk my dogs.
More of an attempt by Pritzker to pander to the permanent victim class in exchange for votes. He is creating another patronage army for those who refuse to work. Illinois is over.
Yeah – that should solve everything
She simply campaigning for a place at the shtbags and blowhards table. She can sit next to Duncan
