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.

Even Though Crime Enabling Shit-Bird/Fake Prosecutor Kim Foxx Is Not Running For Reelection — Crooked Corrupt Cook County Democrat Boss Toni Preckwinkle Has Another Soft Of Crime, Race Hustling Fraud Candidate To Take Her Place
Your fake-progressive equity hustler guaranteed upper-income overloads have already decided what’s best for your racist taxpayer self…..get in line and pay up!!
I vote for Pee Wee Herman!!
I vote for George Santos. He always lies about telling the truth.
There’s no basement at the Alamo!
True story-A friend of my uncle’s years ago got into the Alamo after hours saying he was there to measure the building to put on aluminum siding on it. He got in. Still laughing today.
If recent history is any guide, Kim Foxx’s replacement won’t be any better, and will likely be even worse. Kim Foxx was a PR nightmare, with the dumb look on her face, her inability to articulate coherent thoughts, a mess of a personal life, and of course, her infatuation with D-list Hollywood stars, despite her overwhelmingly popular policies. Her replacement’s policies will likely be even more progressive, and he’ll go far with that charming smile, tidy red bow-tie, and a degree from historically black Howard University.
Exactly correct.
Here’s a link to a ‘news’ article published by Chicago’s South Side Weekly:

Extolls all the stuff that Fox has done – that’s exacerbated all of the pestilential problems with which Chicago has to contend – without once mentioning any of them.
And that’s how the Dem progressive-n-woke community in Cook County thinks, pretty much.
They’ll elect another Kim Fox first chance they get.
