The state workers did their job, paid in the money every paycheck and the state politicians both republican and democrats spent that money and wrote IOUs to the pension funds because they were too cowardly to raise taxes...there are fixes....progressive tax rates, pot sale taxes, make local school districts pay their fair for their teachers pensions instead of Illinois tax payers....eliminate the 3% COLA bullshit..
