Today, four people were found guilty of bribing politicians in Illinois. For the millions and millions of tax dollars that the politicians threw their way, the bribers might get "up to" four years in jail - maybe. Mike Madigan and the slime he associated with in the legislature are due to be tried next April - maybe.
Had that tax money alone been used for the state's legal obligations for our pension systems, there would be no Tier 2 or other created problems and deficits in TRS.
