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.

They just can’t find themselves enough legitimate voters to win an election honestly.
Ironic that voting rights advocates most often have the same worldview as communists. Coincidence?
It makes little sense to have felons, with little to no access to candidate information, to be allowed to vote. The reality is that this is designed for fraud. The convicts won’t be voting. Someone in the jail will be filling out the ballots for them and counting them as D votes. These prisons will have 110% turnout and no one will want to investigate or admit the irregularities. This is the end of Democracy.
Why not? Dead people already vote. Why not just have drop boxes for those just driving thru the state and for convenience add I-PASS voting.
In Illinois, the Democrats prioritize the following people ahead of YOU:
— criminals
— illegal aliens
— sexual deviants
— union racketeers
— welfare cheats
— BLM looters/rioters/arsonists
— pay-to-play crooked insiders
Unfortunately quite accurate.
