a big storm last night had power off from 9 pm until 4:30 this morning. what a mess....
The story in todays news was from the county treasurer saying the county was a $100 billion in the hole for pensions....$32 thou for each suburban househousehold, and $63 thou for each Chicago household. you have to wonder who has accountability for watching the bottom line. When the county was $500 million, should action have been taken? when it hit a billion, or 25 or 50 billion? we kept allowing teachers to retire at age 52, pulling in 100 grand a year...we gave raises in their last 4 years of employment to pad their pensions...we approved pensions for part time county board members....big surprise we are in this predicament. the public trough is only so big, and there are no shortage of hogs waddling up to feed at it. I can't wait until the inevitable happens and the state declares bankruptsy so these payouts cease. we can't afford it - to the tune of $100 billion.
and yet not a word from Gov.Fudd Quinn. such great leadership, huh?
but at least he is looking into paying college tuition for illlegals. good use of his limited mental capacity, huh?
