Quinn signs law ending pension, health benefits for future transit boards

July 24, 2013

On the heels of the ongoing Metra scandal, Gov. Pat Quinn signed legislation that would take state health insurance and pension benefits away from future members of transit boards. The plan, written by state Rep. Jack Franks of Marengo and Dan Duffy of Lake Barrington, applies to Metra, the RTA, PACE and the CTA. "I could tell they were going to screw up again," Franks said of Metra.
