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.

This has been going on for awhile obviously. Macy’s is going to end up closing this store at some point. All these offenders walk after being charged. It’s ridiculous. If DuPage voters want to do anything about it, vote out Casten and Underwood. That would send a message, and frankly, they are both entirely worthless. There’s nothing you can do at the state level unfortunately, but vote out your House Rep and it will register.
Well a smart DuPage Republican would run a campaign targeting public safety to the rich DuPage Karen’s. But there would first need to be a smart DuPage Republican.
DuPage Karens care only for abortion. They’ll never vote Republican again. The last Republican they voted was W in 2004. Even if you could flip some of them Republican, there are too few DuPage county karens left. The foreign born percentage of DuPage, and hence, loyal Democrat voters, is much too high to overcome bringing Karens back home to the Republican Party.
would love to vote both of them out – with the redistricting, the vote by mail and the indoctrinated masses and low voter turnout – it is going to be very difficult to do.
