There was good and bad news coming from Gov. Pat Quinn last week. Coincidentally, it involved the same topic.

After the special session on pension reform ended with a whimper rather than a bang, Quinn announced he would henceforth be taking it to the streets. He said he will organize a grass-roots campaign to get “everyday people” involved and pressure lawmakers to finally do something about pensions.

Quinn didn’t announce details of the plan during his post-session news conference. He said that would come in the future. Now we’re going to have to wait a little longer.
