Sad to say but those people are responsible for the mess we are in today. Senators & represnetatives with fat pensions with cost of living, insurance, salaries that should reflect part time work are now full time, state departments that have to many managers and the list goes on. The Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund (IMRF) last year lost 24% of their investments. Now only the taxpayer is required to make up the difference. Recently, an individual resigned from the University of Illinois. That cost him $400,000 job but he was going to keep his $244,000 teaching position. Life must be good.
