Barrington Township has placed a nonbinding referendum on the ballot that supporters consider a first step toward officials establishing a path to public pension reform in the state. The question asks, “Do you support constitutional pension reform to protect workers’ existing retirements and generate savings which could provide property tax relief or be reinvested in the community?”
vaguely worded, weasel-worded, etc. 2. “could” provide PT relief – too funny 3. how much PT relief? to whom? 4. reinvested in the community – how? by lining the pockets of bureaucrats, public union workers, pols, etc.? 5. remember, when you read the phrase “pension reform,” it’s usually good for a small part of the populace and bad for the rest of us
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
