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.

She is also wrong on “policing Americans”. The feds are after the illegals. They need to stop protecting people breaking the law. I keep thinking back to the covid freaks and how they would send security officers after you for not wearing a mask indoors. My, how times have changed when they don’t even arrest you for illegal residency and felonious activity.
Using your ridiculous worn out words…”Let’s be Clear”, you Ms Duckworth and your TDS are an embarrassment to the State of Illinois, nothing you have done in the past 10 years has improved the lives of the People of Illinois. You, like The DICK and JumboJB need to leave office and maybe Illinois can be salvaged.
This is basically telling Putzger and Pinhead what we all know. Your liberal crime policies are not safe and need to be fixed.
Policing Americans in their own communities is not the National Guard’s job. They can’t make arrests, and they’re not adequately trained to carry out police duties in urban environments.”
No, its not the job of the Nation Guard to police the Citizens. But when the elected servants of the citizen refuse to enforce laws or protect the citizens, its their duty.
I don’t believe they are policing, they are protect federal property and people.
