Freeze all Illinois Legislators' Salaries and Benefits until Pension Crisis is Resolved

Freeze all Illinois legislators' salaries and benefits until they solve the pension crisis.

Why is this important?

Illinois now has the lowest credit rating in the country due to the lack of action on pension reform. Springfield lacks the leadership and political will to get this state in order and become economically competitive again. In order to pressure them to solve the pension crisis, all Illinois legislators' salaries, benefits and other perks should be frozen until they come up with a solution.
