Senator Cullerton’s
Press Secretary requested that we crop her out of this photo (Photo by John Dillon).
On Wednesday, March 20th, this petition was personally delivered to the office of Senate President Cullerton in Springfield by John Dillon and me.
The
petition states:
Illinois has a pension debt and revenue problem. Most legislators know this, and they also understand the concept of justice and what lawfulness demands: that people must keep their covenants with one another. No justice is accomplished when diminishing public employees' earned benefits and rights because of decades of legislators' irresponsibility, corruption and incompetence. Stop Illinois pension reform. It is immoral and illegal.
Many Illinois legislators want to challenge both Illinois and U.S. Constitutions instead of addressing the causes of the state's budget deficits. Illinois public employees have earned their pension. Their pension is a constitutionally-guaranteed contract.

Connelly forgot?
ReplyDeleteAnd is there more to the cropping-the-photo story?
Yes. Senator Cullerton does not paint his fingernails red.
ReplyDeleteoh... Well, I don't know why not. It's a very appealing color.
