Laurence Msall, president of the Civic Federation, said the legislature should either revisit legislation and shift the pension obligations to the district or provide more state funding. “If the Illinois legislature doesn’t want the mayor to be in control of the Chicago Public Schools, it would start treating it like every other municipality,” Msall said, pointing out that no other city is required to pay for its school employees’ pensions.
