Chicago Pensions and State Outcomes
Clip: 4/13/2014 | 15m 1s
We discuss the effect Chicago’s pension reform could have statewide and other topics.
Last week, state lawmakers passed Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s plan to cut retirement benefits for some city workers. Even though the bill left out a controversial property tax hike provision, Gov. Pat Quinn has yet to sign the legislation. We discuss the effect Chicago’s reform could have statewide, and other topics, with our panel of Illinois lawmakers.
