  26. Maybe somebody can help me understand the continued focus on pension reform. I understand it is a big part of the budget. I understand that there may be a slight chance that the “consideration” aspect of contract law could allow a workaround if workers voluntarily agree to forego their current pension. But how does this save money? Just how many state employees are going to forego their constitutionally protected pension to take something of lessor value, that will also save the state significant amounts of money? Or is this just all for show? Any enlightenment would be appreciated.

  149. ===that tv behind me===

    True story. That TV was purchased by Jim DeLeo because the TV at the mansion during the Blagojevich era was a piece of junk. It was very modern for its time. But that time was over a dozen years ago.
