Grant claims ‘Springfield doesn’t want to address’ Illinois’ soaring state pension shortfall – DuPage Policy Journal

State Rep. Amy Grant points to a new Wirepoints special report that details how taxpayers now face a $530 billion pension shortfall that averages out to a balance of $110,000 for every one of the state’s 4.9 million households. “I think that we need lawmakers that want to actually address the situation. We need lawmakers to be sincere, and we need them to want to make a difference on this issue.”

Grant is correct not one politician wants to address the problems in Illinois, just create more.
