Cullerton wants votes on pensions and gay marriage

He spoke to the City Club of Chicago on Monday, giving a slide-slow presentation on Illinois' financial problems.
The Chicago Democrat stressed the need for addressing Illinois' worst-in-the-nation pension problem, which he says drains the state budget.
