Irony of the Day: Burglary Prevention Seminar Tonight, Sponsored by Two Pension Thieves

“Please join State Senator Bill Cunningham, Alderman Howard Brookins, and I [Representative Frances Hurley] for a Burglary Prevention Seminar at St. Margaret of Scotland on Wednesday, July 23rd from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.  Please enter through the south entrance of school. We hope to see you there.”

Indeed, public employees are promised certain retirement compensation. It is earned; it is not a gratuity. Public employees expect and plan their lives based upon these promises. We should be able to assume most legislators in Illinois understand this concept of justice and that lawfulness demands that people keep their "covenants" with one another. Regarding current pension reform, no justice is accomplished when subordinating or diminishing public employees’ rights and earned benefits because of past legislators’ negligence, irresponsibility, and corruption. This is burglary.
