INTERESTING.
During today's press conference, our CEO John Tillman said nothing in Springfield is getting done because politicians there are not interested in what's best for the citizens of Illinois.
Tillman said lawmakers are more worried about their political power and funding than they are the poor and disadvantaged, workers and taxpayers of Illinois.
“Until there’s a consensus built around the people that care about the poor and disadvantaged, and we consider ourselves among them … you’re not going to see reform,” Tillman told reporters today at a news conference at the Thompson Center.
Even if the Madigan bill passes, it will only reduce the unfunded liability by $21 billion, taking us back to 2011 debt levels and not erasing the problem.
