No surprise that Illinois’ Tier 2 pension law being challenged in court given how it was passed – Wirepoints Quickpoint
The law was bulldozed through in 2010 by House Speaker Michael Madigan and Senate President John Cullerton in less than 12 hours with no analysis, debate or actuarial assessment.
This federal government is mostly to blame for this. In Illinois your unemployment compensation is just under 50% of your weekly pay with a max of about $470. The feds then added $600 per week on top of this until the end of July. I’ll bet Trump and all in congress running for reelection this year will try to extend this through November so they’re aren’t 20 million angry voters out there.
It was part of the D compromise to get it through. Listen to Bernie complain about the R senators who complained about it. He was such an dork.
Hard to blame the D. Trump signed into law.
Unemployment should never be more than what you earned on the job. Wow, great benefits the goodies will end, the end of July! Hey U of I instead of promoting welfare promote what a job can do to one’s self confidence!
Welcome to the end of the republic – the takers now realize they can vote themselves a raise.
