-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Summary and audio linked here.
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.

Its Trump’s fault
Quick, send in SWaC! Social Workers and Counsellors!
There are 6000 condos on the market downtown. I wonder why…….
They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
In a properly functioning society, they would be going to jail.
AS WARM WEATHER RETURNS, CRIME-THUG-MOB-WILDING RETURNS TO THE STREETS OF CHICAGO — Wilding Mobs Attack Pedestrians, Drivers, Cops In Loop, Boystown And Old Town – CWB Chicago, CWB Chicago, CWB Chicago
The Wildlings know they can do whatever they want. Surprised the looting was held off.
Teens and young adults crying for attention. We’re the twerking moms there?
Chicago has been lucky that the “climate change” this Spring has been cooler. When the weather gets hot channels 2, 5, 7 and 9 will be challenged to somehow ignore what is going on in the City of Chiraq.
Ah, those energetic Amish kids and their Rumspringa again!
Good one!
It’s the Indian and Asian communities being antisocial again!
Hmmmm……Neither the Trib or Times has mentioned this story! Another example of unverifiable Russian disinformation!
Where’s all the SAFT-T Act violence interrupters & community mental health workers funded through $millions$ in covid arpa relief??
They’ve all driven to Indiana for games of chance. Losing other peoples money is painless.
Davis, 31, is charged with aggravated battery of a peace officer. He has two felony convictions. His lawyer said he is studying to become an electrician, works as a sous chef, and works with the “No Kids Die in Chicago” mentorship and community outreach programs. (CWBCHICAGO.COM)
Here’s one of those multi million dollar funded violence reduction experts. He was in Old Town fighting with the cops and possessing illegal guns. Apparently tax payer money well spent.
Spay and Neuter your animals, it keeps them docile.
This should be studied by a blue ribbon committee of Windbags and Blowhards. It’s the start of the Black Rioting Season. Summer is here and the riots are near! What’s the plan Lori? This will do wonders for downtown! Maybe Lori can take a breather from hunting down snooty journalists who’ve gained secret access.
No politician has the political will to do what needs to be done to prevent and stop these kinds anti-social behavior because it involves police actively arresting and prosecuting more young black people. So it continues, and tourists stay away, and businesses close, and crime shoots up, and office workers work from home, and taxes rise to offset the loss, and downtown is nearly empty (but for the crowds of wildlings themselves). This is the definition of equity and the goal is destruction.
You know that equity picture of the 3 people standing on boxes watching the ballgame? In the real world application, everyone is staring at the fence. The decision was made to bring everyone down multiple notches in order to bring some up one notch.
Now they want to apply that globally
Because they are ALL in on the graft and corruption. They take turns being arrested so the public thinks the FED is actually doing something about it.
Haven’t we seen this situation before? Oh yeah, it’s starting to get warmer. I predict the death toll which has been relatively low will start to rise.
Let’s call ’em like we see ’em – large rowdy crowd of blacks.
Comments mentioning the race of suspects in incidents like this or major criminal events is strictly forbidden. How dare you!
Mea culpa, meas culpa, mea maxima culpa!
No, not really. I was blessed with eyesight – it’s obvious.
The Facts are “”disinformation!””
