Illinois PIG: Get Serious
As Illinois legislators continue their attempts to pillage active and retired teacher pension systems, please keep in mind that the Liberal Democrats led by 28 year Speaker of the House Mike Madigan is following the same program being used by Tea Party Gov. Rick Scott in Florida. Legalized corruption has no party affiliation.A family court judge whose wife is a lobbyist and friend of Rep. Diane Nekritz (D) made a ruling stating that healthcare is not a benefit – or some such legalese statement – that just set a precedent that attempts to redefine the basis for many laws that protect public employees. His attempt to redefine the historical definition will be brought to higher courts.
