Column: Teacher pension problems continue to get bigger – Champaign News-Gazette
“When you hear framings like ‘schools are underfunded’ or ‘schools are overfunded,’ usually those are missing the point. It’s that a growing share of what we already spend never reaches students, and until that problem is directly confronted, even the largest tax increases will struggle to deliver on their stated promises,” write Joshua Rauh and Gregory Kearney of Stanford’s Hoover Institute.

Mayor’s financial task force proposes downtown congestion fee, service tax, restructuring electricity taxes – Chicago Sun-Times
To chip away at Chicago’s 36 billion pension crisis and erase the city’s structural deficit, the 23-member group of civic leaders is also suggesting offering retirees lump-sum payouts in lieu of monthly pension checks and restoring the automatic escalator locking in annual property tax increases at the rate of inflation. Because Gov. JB Pritzker signed a pension sweetener that threatens to make Chicago’s pension crisis 11 billion worse, the task force also suggests requiring the state to provide funding for any future increase in pension benefits.
