settlement money doesn’t come directly from the city’s budget.
You’re suggesting only the insurance company pays all of this?
Insurance companies don’t operate at losses by design. If Chicago isn’t paying more than this in premiums already, they will soon. Its still the city/taxpayers that pay eventually instead of the officers or union.
I don’t disagree with you at all. I’m just pointing out that the settlement money doesn’t come directly from the city’s budget.
