Once again, legislators want to 'pass a bill to see what's in it' - but this time it's 'pension reform' in Illinois. After years of not dealing with the pension problem, it appears that this massive legislation was agreed to over the Thanksgiving weekend and was released in draft form to legislators in Springfield yesterday for a possible vote today!
Chicago Tribune: What's in the bill?
Illinoisans need to be extremely concerned that the temporary tax increases will be made permanent and new tax increases will be coming soon if this bill passes (with no transparency).
Illinois Tea Party does not support this pension 'reform' and are asking legislators to vote NO.
Illinoisans are broke - Stop playing politics with our lives and deal realistically with the pension problem!

CHICAGO - A Chicago area Tea Party leader that has been outspoken against ObamaCare was suddenly notified Wednesday before Thanksgiving by the Internal Revenue Service that he owes $6000 in taxes from as far back as ten years ago. The taxes must be paid by the day after Christmas. The South Carolina cancer patient he helped to reinstate health care insurance got a letter from the IRS the same day.
We should ALL be worried about what's in the 'Affordable Care Act'
