Can Assembly agree on pensions?
Ill. House, Senate both pass reform bills, but reaching consensus far from certain
Both houses of the General Assembly over the past several days have approved pension reform plans – one bold and one small.
All but one of McHenry County’s representatives in the House voted for their proposal. All three of its Senate members voted against theirs.
So the question is, what kind of bill, if any, will make it to Gov. Pat Quinn’s desk in an attempt to reduce the state’s $96.7 billion unfunded pension liability?
