Pension Reform in Illinois: A Hard Job that Springfield Wants to Ignore

A statewide effort has been launched by a number of conservative organizations and individuals to force Springfield to address the massive pension problem facing Illinois.
$7 billion of our $12 billion structural deficit is related to generous pension and retiree health care programs for government workers that Illinois simply cannot afford. These generous programs will have racked up more than $140 billion in debt and unfunded liabilities by the end of FY2011! Learn more here.

Be an Ambassador: Watch the presentation at www.FixIllinoisPensionsNow.com, then follow the link at the center of the page to contact your lawmaker and demand that something be done this year. If we don't force Springfield to act, they will simply kick the can down the road for another year.
