Gov. J.B. Pritzker's administration considering selling state buildings and land to pay for pensions
chicagotribune.com
Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s administration issued a plan Thursday to deal with Illinois’ chronically underfunded public pensions that called for injecting more cash from a proposed graduated income tax.11 hours ago
This is the Wrong Answer to this problem. The reason why the pension fund is having problems is because pass Governors and Congresses have not paid the Company part of the pension. To reform it is wrong and to sales building and property is wrong pass a Constitutional Amendment or pass a law that forces the Government to pay their part! Yes I get it that it is the people’s money but, the Constitution of Illinois states that the Government must pay. Fix the problem don’t create more!
Shortsighted.
Let's face it people I bet Lincoln is probably turning in his grave right now. I posted this on a previous posting a couple days ago but we need to understand death Illinois is he dead state and it grieves me to have to say that. I love that living in Chicago and I was there the better for the better part of 40 years.I have come to the realization that no matter how hard the fat cat rows this ship of state will sink.
