Forest Preserve District of Cook County Pension Funding Legislation Passes Both Houses of the Illinois General Assembly – Civic Federation

Following Cook County voters’ approval of a higher property tax levy for the Forest Preserve District of Cook County via a referendum question on the November 2022 ballot, the Illinois General Assembly last week passed a law that will change the District’s funding schedule for its pension plan to an actuarially-sound 30-year plan with a 100 percent funding goal.

I thought the FP referendum on a tax increase was for needed facility repairs. Have County tax payers been misled? How unusual!
