One thought on “Forbes post, “No, Gov. Pritzker, Illinois Pension Reform Isn’t A Fantasy””
What do you propose as a solution to protect the teachers who pay into TRS? It seems like you’re willing to do anything to “fix” the system and disregard what teachers have paid into the system over the lifespan of their career. Teachers are planning their retirements based on what they’ve been promised. I am a teacher. I am retiring in four years. I’ve worked for 32 years and I find it unbelievable and insulting that you only see the financial side and not the human side. I’m not picking a fight. I truly want to know- Would you cut my retirement? How much ($) would it be impacted? Also, do you live in Illinois? Who did you vote for in the last election?
