Turns out, you can’t just blame state legislators for skipping pension payments:
* I asked the Senate Republicans for the list of proponents and opponents of the bill which allowed the state to skip pension payments. Here it is…
SB 27 Proponnents [sic]:
Rich Frankenfeld, IEA “testimony if necessary”
Derek Blaida, CPS
Steve Preckwinkle, IFT “testimony if necessary”
Laura Arterburn, IFT
Michael McGann SEIU
Kurt Anderson SEIUOpponents:
Randy Witter, Retired State Employees Association
Martin Noven, Treasurer’s office (Topinka)
Can we quit the finger-pointing and get on with problem solving now?
