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.

Sad that our taxes support this wench.
Alderman Rielly serves up a total smack-down of the entire CTU/Brandon clown show on latest Fran Spielman show, (the best podcast show for Chicago politics in my opinion)
Sun-Times City Hall reporter Fran Spielman is joined by Ald. Brendan Reilly of Chicago’s 42nd Ward to discuss the city’s critical financial issues and political landscape.

You want to look at what’s wrong with Chicago and Cook County? A good start is looking at the 3 pictures at the top of the wirepoints page. All idiots in positions of power solely on the basis of color. More of the same on the way with Heels up Kamala. Don’t forget Toni and Kwame.
She’s a moron, just like her pin-head boss. That’s who is running the City. Morons.
Beware of activists that come from groups weaving the words “ Union “, “ Workers “, “ Family “ and “ Justice “, none of which they truly believe in, into their titles. This one is the epitome of the angry, black, female Marxist that doesn’t even understand what she’s advocating for.
The Black community disproportionately calls 911. Who does this idiot think they’re calling for?
She’s a very attractive young lady.
Thanks for clarifying. I wasn’t sure what that was.
And looks totally sane to boot.
