Quinn tries to halt lawmaker pay over pensions | |
July 10, 2013 Gov. Pat Quinn attempted to suspend Illinois lawmakers' pay Wednesday, following through on his warning of consequences if they failed to end the state's nearly $100 billion pension crisis, the worst of any state nationwide. "They must have that alarm bell ringing in their ears and the best way to do that is to hit them in the wallet," Quinn said. Source: http://www.dailyherald.com/article/20130710/news/707109850/ |
