Pension Reform Will Not Fix IL Budget
Clip: 1/22/2014 | 8m 39s
Authors of new pension report discuss the state’s budget gap.
After state lawmakers finally passed pension reform in December, Illinoisans could be forgiven for assuming the state is now on track to balance its budget. But a report out this week says the reforms don't do nearly enough to fix the state's budget gap. Two of the authors of the report -- Richard Dye and Nancy Hudspeth -- join us to discuss their findings and the implications for the state.
