Bill is unconstitutional
To the Editor:
House Bill 6258, which was proposed by Illinois state Rep. Elaine Nekritz of Northbrook, would be, if passed into law, unconstitutional. It would, among other things, limit annual cost-of-living increases (3 percent) for current retired teachers to the first $25,000 of the employee’s pension.
Many taxpayers, I’m sure, will think that this is a great idea. I don’t. One could argue about the “fairness” of this proposition, but that would be missing the point.
