‘Yeoman Work’

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.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.
