Both candidates dodged details on how they would come up with $270 million in additional pension payments in their first budget. Lightfoot declined to identify any specific “progressive revenues” she spoke of, while Preckwinkle talked about reforming workers’ compensation and the city’s special taxing districts, steps that would be difficult to put in place in time for the first budget. Both also lacked specifics on how they’d address the nearly $1 billion in new revenue the city will need to make additional pension payments by 2023.
