1. Pension parity…….for ONE year?

2. I’d say trust but verify, but this is the Rauner administration. Verify, then verify again, then trust.

3. “Pays For” is my new go-to expression

4. Ok, I totally agree. This morning I didn’t buy a new car. The $ I saved “pays for” the new garage I’d like to have. This is fun!

5. >Pension parity…….for ONE year?

   I know it sounds ridiculous, but getting it done for one year makes it easier to get it done again.

6. Well, at least they have the good taste to use quotes around “pays for” when they’re baking one-time money into ongoing spending.

7. So is this the thing that Rick mentioned CTA wouldn’t like? Sorry I’m swimming in all the new stuff to learn. I’m trying to keep up.

8. Sincere question:
   How much,if any, does the BIMP add to the overall State deficit?

9. My reading is SB2822ham003 is that it provides $215,200,000 not $205 million as the pension parity payment as the House Democrats stated, see page 2 of the bill. Only $10.2 million off, what’s a million here or there.

10. Does anyone know what if anything is planned for payment to health providers for persons who are supposedly covered by state employees’ medical and hospital insurance? I think there’s a huge backlog. In my case, its over a year and one wonders when the hospitals and physicians will turn us away.

11. Its a start; an actual obtainment of common ground. they need to do this next for a tax hike and rev bill. we cant keep accruing debt without additional revenue. Heck they can require the extra revenue only be used for existing unpaid debt as a compromise, and require a different agreement be reached for any other spending. thus enabling other tefroms if you want to do more then pay off the current debt
