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.

Socialism starts out at the ballot box and can only be ended with a rifle barrel. Anyone who thought that this would be a “free and fair” election – like Sleepy Joe and Kamala – are fools.
If the US declares the election was not fair then does that give a stronger case to all the Venezuelan illegals seeking asylum.
I don’t know, seems with me with the whole world watching this election, it was the most secure election ever. MOST SECURE EVER. Maduro won, now get over it, there’s a lot of political opponents for him to jail.
I suspect the CTU leadership though is still all in for Maduro. Sad how far this shadow Chicago leadership group is from the sentiments of the average American.
They lost all credibility when they took their jaunt down there.
Can’t lose what you never had to begin with!
So Maduro is declared winner in tainted election.
I have a friend who came here legally from Venezuela. She tells me Maduro has caused a world of misery.
JUST LIKE BIDEN ………harris will cause misery also if elected……they are trying to re-write her history so she is more appealing….. which is not possible. She did a world of damage in calif. and is horrible as vp
It is the democrats who will continue with the same policies that will take us down the same path as Venezuela
