Stop trying to balance the pension debt on the backs of the public employees and retirees. Sit down with the Unions and negotiate a fair compromise instead of listening to Ty Fahner and the other millionaires and billionaires whose only vested interest is in preserving their tax breaks at the expense of the poor, the retirees, and the hard working public employees!
Why is this important?
I and many other public employees' pensions and health care are threatened by Illinois legislators and governors that have utilized our pension fund like their personal credit card. We should not be penalized for their mistakes since we NEVER missed a pension payment and held up our end of the bargain.
