Pension mess

To the Editor:

Rich Miller’s column of Jan. 15 tells quite simply the politics behind Illinois’ so-called pension reform.

Speaker Michael Madigan once again is holding us hostage to his plan to wash his hands (and that of all legislators) of the pension mess by transferring the debt back to the citizens who’ve already paid their share. A story reported on the same day about potential cutbacks in state services as reported by Gov. Pat Quinn’s office shows his complicity in Madigan’s scheme.
