About this Article

Gov. Pat Quinn Tuesday called a pension-cutting plan from Senate President John Cullerton “very attractive.” Cullerton's legislation has two distinct pension-cutting plans to try to battle the chances either one might be unconstitutional. In theory, if judges reject one part in an eventual lawsuit, they could possibly uphold the other. And it combines the idea to cut teachers' and state workers' retirement benefits.
