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. Audio here.
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.

One judge makes a major decision that affects the entire state, that’s just not right. A judge in a more conservative county should throw biden off the ballot, pritzger as well, and all democrats. If one judge has the power why not another.
Because Republicans are the party of stupid too moored in ‘muh principles’ to do something like that. Meanwhile the Democrats have thrown Trump off the ballot in 3 states so far, impeached him twice, and have three criminal and two costly civil cases against him. But can the house of Representatives impeach Biden? LOL, so many reps say “We don’t stoop to the Democrat’s level’ while we get run over metaphorically by the Democrat’s lawfare, rioting and corruption.
YOU SAID THAT WELL………..WHO EVER GAVE YOU A THUMBS DOWN NEEDS SOME EDUCATION …….PERIOD!!
