  1. Savings from Senate pension plan cut by half

    — Senate President John Cullerton's pension reform proposal would slice only about half of what he estimated it would immediately cut from the state's nearly $100 billion retirement system debt, a development that could boost chances for the rival legislation pushed by House Speaker Michael Madigan.

  2. Madigan says universities, community colleges willing to share pension costs

    — House Speaker Michael Madigan on Thursday announced that he has struck a preliminary deal with the state's universities and community colleges that will require them to slowly pick up the cost of teacher pensions over several years even as tuition rates continue to rise.

  3. Knock yourselves out, Senators

    If a good plan for relieving Illinois' pension crisis has momentum, why not offer an inferior proposal that wouldn't do as much good? To that end, Senate President John Cullerton on Monday unveiled another insufficient pension reform bill, this one with the blessing of public employee unions. And no wonder: Cullerton's plan would ask less of their members — but more from taxpayers — than a plan that already passed the House.

  4. Retired teachers threaten to sue over pension changes

    — Senate President John Cullerton says one good reason to support his pension reform plan is that the unions won't sue because they're in on the deal, but already a group of retired teachers is prepared to go to court if the proposal becomes law.

  5. Illinois pension overhaul aims to stop outsider access

    — For years, the big debate about reforming the state's heavily underfunded pension system has centered on how many billions the state could save and how much money retirees might lose. But the proposal the House passed last week also seeks to stop allowing interlopers who aren't state workers into the taxpayer-supported retirement systems.

  11. State considers ombudsman for condo disputes

  12. Madigan takes charge

    Back in May 2011, House Speaker Michael Madigan and Republican Leader Tom Cross introduced Senate Bill 512, the first stab at comprehensive pension reform that impacted state workers, teachers, university personnel and General Assembly members. The bill quickly lost momentum. Teachers unions colorfully described it as the blood-sucking vampire Dracula, whom they were able to "put back in his coffin."
