  6. Knock yourselves out, Senators

    If a good plan for relieving Illinois' pension crisis has momentum, why not offer an inferior proposal that wouldn't do as much good? To that end, Senate President John Cullerton on Monday unveiled another insufficient pension reform bill, this one with the blessing of public employee unions. And no wonder: Cullerton's plan would ask less of their members — but more from taxpayers — than a plan that already passed the House.

  10. Madigan takes charge

    Back in May 2011, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Republican Leader Tom Cross introduced Senate Bill 512, the first stab at comprehensive pension reform that impacted state workers, teachers, university personnel and General Assembly members. The bill quickly lost momentum. Teachers unions colorfully described it as the blood-sucking vampire Dracula, whom they were able to "put back in his coffin."
