The Illinois General Assembly is gutless

Posted April 01, 2010 11:00 pm

I see that the gutless members of the Illinois General Assembly have again taken the cowardly way out by trying to make us believe that the new so-called pension reform that was voted on March 24 is good for us tax paying suckers. This new pension reform plan applies only to new hires for state workers, teachers and newly elected people. What a crock!

These clowns are a disgrace as many of them are the very ones who created this mess we our in and yet they expect us to think they are doing us great service. If they had any real interest in the taxpayers of Illinois they would admit they are failures, resign from office immediately and forfeit the pensions they do not deserve.

Come on people, get involved and let our so called representatives know that you are tired of them not representing the working people of this state. Like the old saying: lead, follow or get out of the way.
