The good and bad in Pritzker pension proposals – Illinois Policy

One of the strongest proposals Gov. JB Pritzker included in his plans was to extend the state’s pension buyout program. Pritzker’s office estimates these payments have reduced the state’s unfunded pension liability by about $2.9 billion and that extending the program through fiscal year 2028 could reduce liabilities by another $1.4 billion.

GOP Governor candidate Ted Dabrowski has Already addressed this back in 2020.
Naturally, JB is taking portions of Ted’s initiatives and using it in his own “pension proposal” in an attempt to take the Unsustainable Pension Issue off the table.

Illinois voters, don’t let that happen in the first place. Fire JB…
