Chicago is simply doing what other Socialist Cities do.

Namely, investing pension money in their political friends projects.

Meanwhile, the Chicago residents get higher sales taxes and property taxes and business taxes imposed on them to pay for the corruption.

People who have the financial resources to leave Chicago are doing so which leaves more ‘gimme dat’ people in control at the voting booth.

I agree. “Their firm made millions in fees even as retirement plans for teachers, cops, other Chicago city workers suffered big losses.”

I don’t understand why the Sun-Times is so exercised about this. It sounds like everything went just as planned, unlike much of Chicago’s efforts.
