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.

Absolute crap vehicles that no one wants. This is another great example of Democrat policies in action. Cancel this garbage on election day. I want to see many tears from Petey Buttigieg and Sean Casten. Two bigger wastes of space you will not find.
The upside is that that’s $334 million dollars which won’t be wasted on food and shelter for invaders, er, I mean immigrants from Latin America, Asia and Africa.
EV’S useless…….they say when the battery catches fire sometimes for no reason they can’t be put out till they burn themselves out!! Don’t put them in your attched garages……………….total waste!!
Thumbs down from someone that doesn’t know ( or ignores) the fact that EV batteries on fire cannot be extinguished by using water or covering them with sand. The illegally stored batteries in Morris burned for several days and a portion of the town had to evacuated before the fire finally died out.
Isn’t that what I just Said??
You’re stupid. My comment was better.
What’s stupid is you posting to people that you think you are smart……what a dip-shyt
That wasn’t me. Probably a Democrat or Theodore Thumbsdown, the one that pops out of his hole and disappears without adding anything to the conversation. Wondering when said creature is in season and what the bag limit is.
MIGHT BE PPF HE’S A SORE LOSER ALSO…….THANKS FOR THE CLARITY
Well, we all now see how some people, especially those from the “ party of tolerance “ deal with those that don’t agree with them.
Not me. Wouldn’t disrespect another’s comment like that. I, unlike some, respect others opinions, no matter how outlandish I might find it. Apparently, some weasel is posting under my handle. Probably a Democrat.
Thanks for letting us know. We have blocked that other user.
So a UAW front company (Stellantis) gets $300 million+ in vig/redistributed income from Washington to reopen a failed plant, to hire/prepay guaranteed Blue votes and make some of the most unpopular EV’s on the market. All so Jelly Belly can keep pushing the lie that is IL and to keep the trough full for his masters.
See BS News gets all teary eyed with praise for the Biden cabal and UAW for ‘assisting’ the possible reopening the shuttered plant that once made cheap Dodge Neons that no one really wanted and now makes nothing. Has anyone contacted Stellantis and asked if they really want this plant or not? Sure JB the Hutt did. Open up or else. The Climate Clerics at the Dept of Energy reached into the $1 Billion that the IRS claims to have spent $80 Billion to collect and pulled out $334 Million to retool the plant to manufacture another product with no… Read more »
“the possible reopening the shuttered plant that once made cheap Dodge Neons that no one really wanted”
I actually bought a Plymouth Neon that rolled off the line at Belvidere. Biggest lemon I ever owned. No sympathy here.
