-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Illinois paid the price for embracing Fauci’s “science.” Here’s the retrospective.
“With the percentage of our state budget dedicated to pensions decreasing over time, there’s an opportunity to redirect those savings to property tax relief,” said La Ha.
What? Pension costs are decreasing? This article seems to be missing something. Or maybe I am.
Pension costs will never decrease. Not now that Amendment 1 is in the constitution. Illinois taxpayers shot themselves in the foot and infection is going to kill the host.
I believe you are missing some key words. Percentage of our state budget dedicated to pensions has been decreasing. That doesn’t mean pension payments are decreasing. Instead it reflects the growth in revenue.
Increase in revenue that barely paces inflation, and trails our surrounding states! BURN!
It’s hard to believe the pesion obligations are decreasing over time and JB wants to eliminate the new tier 2 pensions and revert them back to teir 1 letting all state employee’s, which includes teachers, retire with 100% pay at 55 instead of 67 like the rest of us stiffs also not getting 100% retirements, mostly none!
Do you get paid to lie or is it just complete ignorance? JB doesn’t want to eliminate tier 2 and tier 1 doesn’t get 100% pay at 55.
Nothing about what you said on Tier 2 is correct.
