Daniel A. Kirk: "I spent nearly 15 years as a prosecutor in the Cook County State’s Attorney’s Office in Chicago, working my way up to second in command, and I know first-hand that sensible reform does not have to sacrifice public safety...However, in (Kim) Foxx’s Chicago, murders are up 30%, carjackings nearly 300%."

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.

Maybe her plan is that sooner or later they will all kill each other off. Then, when there is no one left to commit crime crime will drop. Certainly this makes sense to you and if it doesn’t perhaps you were asleep in your common core math class that explained this in detail.
Foxx took credit when homicides and shootings dropped at the beginning of her tenure, so she is culpable for the increase.
Kim Fox was overwhelmingly re-elected after she was well on her way toward wrecking Chicago’s criminal justice/public safety infrastructure.
It seems a self-evident fact that most of the people who vote in Chicago like what she’s done. For them, life in Chicago is so much better than it was.
They got what they voted for…..
Foxx lost the suburbs. The city put her over the top. She is Chicago’s states attorney, not Schaumburg’s.
What about Tim Evans?
The heavily populated pro-police wards, such as: 13th, 19th and 23rd had a majority votes to retain the Chief Judge.
This was my statistical gut punch.

When I watch interviews with her, which fascinate me, her mannerisms and pattern strike me as a child-like mind set; pretend if you will.
Badder u r 100% anyone who has ever had a conversation with Foxx can tell she not right upstairs talked with her many times before she became CCSA
Foxx is not a critical thinker. She couldn’t have written her playbook because she is not proficient at the legal profession to construct a cohesive plan to begin with. She is a legislative assistant manager spouting whatever tripe criminal justice reformers are selling her.
