Politicians "negotiate" with our money for benefits to be paid long after the pols have left office.
Our property values decline while our taxes go up and up.

It is high time that local and state municipalities do the same in Illinois.
Particularly in light of the overall financial crisis.

It is largely political in that it secures votes for politicians who support it via government employees union influence. It's a backdoor way to purchase votes.

Private sector workers can't fund their own retirements but are being made to fund lavish benefits for goverment workers.

Show some spine and make the difficult choices that private companies have to make in order to survice. Cut the fat.

Current pensions are too generous in comparison to the private sector and too expensive for the taxpayers to sustain.
