"If Illinois is going to embrace another public-pension-contribution holiday, shouldn't the public be informed of what the financial consequences will be?"
Will the taxpayer get a pension holiday? Simple answer is NO!! We will still pay thru property and other taxes but the money will be “Diverted” to something else. Down the road we the taxpayers will be stuck with even higher deficits. When will the taxpayers band together and say Enough is Enough. Throwing money into a bottomless pit if insanity. Too many of us are forfeiting our retirements to enhance someone else’s. Will probably be moving soon.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
