The Illinois Senate President is critical of a Chicago business group’s assertion that the state’s pension crisis is “unfixable.”
That report this week from the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago warned that the problem is even worse because last week’s elections increased the Democratic majority in both chambers of the General Assembly.
But President John Cullerton says the Senate has put forward meaningful pension reform… only to have it blocked by Republicans.
He urged the business group to put pressure on the GOP to work with Democrats on a solution.
