The ‘education’ of lawmakers on pensions persists
Speaker slates additional votes on reform ideas
House Speaker Michael Madigan was hoping last Thursday to avoid the same results as the previous week when he presented some new pension reform ideas.
The previous week, one of his pension reform proposals received just one vote – his own. None of his other pension amendments received more than five votes.
That wasn’t supposed to happen. Members of his leadership team thought some of those amendments would get at least a few dozen votes. Oops.
