No wonder Mayor Daley decided it was time to leave.
Well, I’m sure that Rahm can deal with it.

Much of the blame rests with Illinois' pension code...That's just like blaming the "evil SUV" for going wild and hurting people.
Sorry, it's the criminal behavior of the political ruling class at all levels where the blame rests. Just how did the "Illinois pension code" come into existence? Did it spontaneously form?

Rahm may be sorry he ever left the WH.....

Not to worry.
0'Zer0 has about 0.25T in the 2011-2012 budget for Chi Town.
Pizza & beer set-a-sides too boot!

Rahm may be sorry he ever left the WH..... Just wait until he finds out that Chicago can't print money like the feds do.

It couldn’t happen to a nicer city.

Pigs at the trough. I’m sure they will find a way to blame republicans for it. At the least Bush will be to blame.

...unfunded liabilities on public employee pensions would now cost each Chicago resident more than $11,934... Unexpected.

Sir, I think your HALF right. Meaning yes it’s “the criminal behavior of the ruling class” but it also took a million or so Chicago moron voters to elect the marxists that voted for all these pensions!
Same goes for Obama, tens of millions of voters voted for him? Ergo, we got what “they” deserve!

"This problem is exacerbated, the report says, as the number of retirees exceeds the number of active public employees." Ya Think? This of course is further "exacerbated" when many of the retirees are actually dead but their checks is being cashed by the machine or the DNC directly.
