The rush to fix pension reform in high in Illinois. Illinois is broke and pensions are the top problem. It is costing the residents high taxes and future downfalls. What cost pennies years ago cost millions today in pensions. There is no way this problem could have been for seen so many years ago and contributions to the pension funds were too low to support the current needs and demands. If no pension reform is done, there will be higher taxes and higher costs to each resident.
Thirty local Mayors in the Chicago suburbs have joined together to tackle pension reform in IL. Not surprisingly, Bolingbrook is NOT one that wants reform. Could it be because many of these elected officials in Bolingbrook are retiring within the next four years? What will this cost you in the next few years?
With elections coming, this will be a hot topic. We will be interviewing candidates to get perspective on how each of them feels about pension reform.
Roger is unable to join this group, he knows Bolingbrook will go Bankrupt anyway due to the huge debt he has run up by funding a golf course.
