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.
What are the lead water pipes replaced with? ?
Wouldn’t it be cheaper for all concerned to put in whole house water filters that remove lead and other contaminants? Replacing pipes will take years. Top of the line filter is approx $1,700 and much cheaper for just main drinking faucet. This would be a good short term alternative before the pipes are replaced. I would also have people get tested for heavy metal toxicity with a hair or fingernail sample which is non invasive.
