Talk to Madigan about pension crisis
In response to Steve Grossman's solution for solving the state's underfunded pension crisis, pension beneficiaries did not create the problem. Every one of them paid their legally required contributions. Also, a new law won't fix the problem as the pension protection is currently in the state of Illinois Constitution.
For further information on the pension issue I would refer him to the office of Rep. Michael Madigan, Speaker of the Illinois House, who has overseen the underfunded matter for 30-plus years.
