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.

Did Oakbrook residents vote for democraps? If they did, you’re getting g what you deserve.
Expect Burberry to exit Chicagoland market altogether.
That said, apparently Burberry now has ghetto-cred; mixed blessing.
Wake up Oakbrook! Shoot these SOBS on site!!!
These brazen retail thefts are directly correlated to the woke progressive policies of King Pritzker, and supported by other woke politicians like Casten and Underwood. Hopefully suburban moms will remember that when voting next November. If you want to be safe, and if you want your children to be safe, it is time to hold thugs and gangbangers accountable. It took less than a year of Pritzker’s policies to have this effect. Next will be shootouts in broad daylight in the suburbs. It’s coming soon to a town near you.
Oakbrook is in trouble. Too close to Cook County and too polite and PC to get ahead of what is coming their way.
Du page doesn’t play. Soon the permanent victim class criminals will learn that the hard way with stiff jail sentences.
