If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

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.

So does that Economics professor get his job back? Does he get his professional life back for suggesting it’s good to have Cops on campus?
Ok to mug me, but don’t shoot me?
Same people who wanted to get rid of U of C police last year! LOL
Cannot make this crap up!
Yes! They did want to get rid of the U of C police – now they want protection.
No long view from these people!
The Hyde Park area is unsafe and it has been for a number of years, with murders happening now. Asian students should be especially careful, at all times.

Last Year, University Of Chicago Student Cop Haters Demanded That Campus Police Be Abolished — Now, After A Deadly Hyde Park Crime Wave And The Murder Of A University Of Chicago Student, Those Same Assholes Want More Police Protection – Chicago Tribune — DEAR U OF C STUDENTS: (1) F**K YOU; (2) SUCK A BAG OF DIRTY D**KS; AND (3) GOOD LUCK NEXT TIME YOU’RE OUT AFTER DARK
I was going to link to an article saying this same thing but you posted it here first.
So instead I’ll say that life is cruel, and darwinism is harsh reality. Death is the inevitable result of Defunding Police. It appears obvious to everyone except 20 year old college students living in some bubble.
Doubt if these brainwashed fools can connect the dots between “defund the police”, voting for Kim Foxx and their current crime spike.
These idiots are suppose to abolish the police on campus? What a joke, don’t they know Police are way worse than murderous gang bangers glorified by Hollywood and the Liberal Left?
Sad that Univ of Chicago may have an existential crisis on it’s hands, it may have to go 100% online classes and lose its prestige due to this crime. There are other top universities not in a murderous crime mecca.
And then they lauded Kimm Foxx and shared anecdotes about how if the city only went further with “restorative justice” the misunderstood young men would turn into UofC caliber sudents themselves and find noce jobs on LaSalle Street.
Well, not sure if the world would be a better place if we replaced one group of criminals on LaSalle St. with another group of criminals!
People on LaSalle St. aren’t criminals, they add valuable service to society.
Until recently, the largest criminal organization operating on LaSalle St. was commonly referred to as “Bank of America”…
I wonder how the students and professors voted in the state , county and city races in the last election?
