Candidate unafraid to sit in trenches
There is a financial problem in Springfield and the number one culprit is the unsustainable pension system.
It is past time to change from a defined benefit plan to a defined contribution plan. This isn't rocket science. See what works in other states and adopt those best practices.
I'm grateful there is one senator who has gotten in the trenches and pushed for pension reform. She sits through hours of meetings on pension and budget reforms to ensure government runs efficiently and fairly for the taxpayer. I like and admire that type of commitment. Thanks Senator Althoff.
