Wirepoints is proud to report another successful year in which we have expanded our reach and influence. The path is open to deepen our impact – with your support.
Our research is cited or republished by an ever-growing list of opinion leaders in Illinois and across the nation. Every week, we make multiple appearances live or on other media outlets. That lets us know we’re having an impact.
Why the success? Because we present facts in plain English. We ask questions that aren’t being asked. We say things others won’t say. And we do research nobody else does. A tumultuous 2021 has often slipped into a fog of uncertainty and deceit and we’ve helped cut through it.
Help us do more in 2022 by making a tax-deductible contribution to Wirepoints. As a nonprofit that relies on individual donations, our mission depends on you. Your contributions to Wirepoints, a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, are tax deductible.
We got a compliment recently that captures much of what we try to be. It came from Substack contributor Mark Wauck:
“This is a site that specializes in Illinois public affairs… it concentrates on providing information that’s actually, like, ya know, accurate. In blue states like IL that can be a real challenge, and Wirepoints does yeoman work in that regard.”
We are dedicated to the same approach on everything we cover – accurate information in stories otherwise not being told.
The day will come when Illinois lawmakers will have no choice but to embrace structural reforms instead of denying, delaying, extending and pretending. We intend to be there with the facts and solutions to help set things right.
Thank you.

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.
