Few blighted buildings will be razed...municipal pension liabilities will be funded.

It’s the Chicago way.

Probably not pension funds but to union bosses and city officials. Personally I'd let the scrappers have a first shot at the abandoned buildings first. A who salvager lives near me just drools over the old red brick but said the city wants him to take responsibility for those properties (pay taxes) to clean them up.

Looks like Kevyn Orr will have control of the money.
