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.

Maybe Abbott could team up with Indiana rep government. Find a state facility close to ill/ind border as bus dropoff point from texas and then load the asylum seeking migrants onto south shore rail line or something to sanctuary paradise Chicago? Or fly migrants into Gary airport and then loaden on commuter trains to sanctuary paradise Chicago….all in time for dem convention
Or, drop migrants off at the Whiting /Chicago border and migrants can walk into the sanctuary paradise of Chicago
Tell the idiots in the State House to reverse the sanctuary state designation. That would be a great start.
This will be headed for the courts and I hear Pritzker has influence on the Supreme Court in Illinois. The King has spoken and those immigrants are here to stay like it or not.
There are so many byways to let the illegal migrants off at. Towns would be wise to simply have there own arranged transportation, of say school buses, for the final leg into Chicago.
Show courage and stand your ground lady.
Better start building shelters Sheila. Don’t you subscribe to JB’s sanctuary state proclamation? An effective leader would have anticipated that promising free stuff to people was going to draw a crowd. This is on you Sheila, you are a poser, and a worthless one at that. I hear buses Sheila, a lot of buses headed for your town!
