  8. Savings from Senate pension plan cut by half

  10. Knock yourselves out, Senators

    If a good plan for relieving Illinois' pension crisis has momentum, why not offer an inferior proposal that wouldn't do as much good? To that end, Senate President John Cullerton on Monday unveiled another insufficient pension reform bill, this one with the blessing of public employee unions. And no wonder: Cullerton's plan would ask less of their members — but more from taxpayers — than a plan that already passed the House.

But the proposal the House passed last week also seeks to stop allowing interlopers who aren't state workers into the taxpayer-supported retirement systems.
