Proposed measure would suspend pension payments for indicted former Illinois lawmakers – Center Square

"There is a possibility that he [Madigan] may want to delay, delay, delay, the lawyers may want to delay the trial, and all during that time, he is still receiving a lucrative pension," state Rep. Amy Elik said. "So this bill would just say, once you're indicted or charged with information, your pension payments get suspended. If you're found not guilty, or the case doesn't proceed, you'll get your pension payments back with interest."
