  6. Knock yourselves out, Senators

    If a good plan for relieving Illinois' pension crisis has momentum, why not offer an inferior proposal that wouldn't do as much good?

  8. Retired teachers threaten to sue over pension changes

    — Senate President John Cullerton says one good reason to support his pension reform plan is that the unions won't sue because they're in on the deal, but already a group of retired teachers is prepared to go to court if the proposal becomes law.

  9. Illinois pension overhaul aims to stop outsider access

    — For years, the big debate about reforming the state's heavily underfunded pension system has centered on how many billions the state could save and how much money retirees might lose. But the proposal the House passed last week also seeks to stop allowing interlopers who aren't state workers into the taxpayer-supported retirement systems.
