To really summarize he state of the Illinois “pension debate” so far, one would need to depict the state’s public workforce on the recieving end of some decidedly non-family friendly action…with the evil doers being the inflictors of the pain.

Screwdrivers might have been more indicative.

Would have been better if nail had been sticking out of a coffin.

Clearly not an Arts Council piece of work.

That sculpture sticks in my claw.
Use that on some salad for some clawslaw.
I’ve peen to better art shows.
That piece smacks of partisan politics.
