TRS Board meets and insists on the constitutionality of any pension changes.

As I reported, the Board of Trustees of the Teacher Retirement System met yesterday in Springfield.
A number of people spoke during the public comment section of the meeting. Most expressed concern with the recent “new reality” comments of Executive Director Richard Ingram.
The Board is composed of four active trustees, two annuitant trustees and one appointed by the Governor.
One of the board members is IEA President Cinda Klickna.
While comments included those that asked for a sanction against the Executive Director, none was taken.
