Will County authorities have delivered a chilling message to carjackers and other criminals terrorizing citizens in Chicago and Cook County.
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.

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.

As long as they keep it in Cook County, it’s like Christmas every day!
Re-open the ‘Roundhouse’ in Joliet just for carjackers – that will send a LOUD message.
This is a very positive story. Every county that surrounds Cook needs to prosecute crimes to the fullest extent of the law, regardless of race and gender alphabet soup choice. There has been an increasing number of retail thefts where the perpetrators try to hightail it back to the city, but lately the suburban police have successfully pursued and apprehended these criminals. I salute these officers and expect the prosecutors to do their job as well. Enough is enough.
This is what you can expect when you leave the reservation, ghetto. If surrounding Counties think you belong in the Joint, then the joint is your future
