Commentary: Gov. JB Pritzker’s willingness to tackle pension problem is a breakthrough – Chicago Tribune*

David Greising, of the Better Government Association: "Pritzker does have a plan, and that makes him the first Illinois governor in 30 years to propose a way out of this seemingly insurmountable pension problem...There likely will be time to debate the alternative options. Chances are, Pritzker’s idea won’t be taken up during the current legislative session. But let’s embrace a breakthrough while we can — before the messy work of lawmaking gets underway and compromises and accommodations come into play."
