Illinois must continue to pay for the pensions of state workers despite the fact that the program is $105 billion in debt. That was the outcome of the May 8 Illinois Supreme Court ruling that found the state’s 2013 pension law unconstitutional. The law sought to delay the retirement age for some workers, limit the salary used to determine pension benefits, and scale back cost-of-living increases. For now, none of that will happen. The unanimous decision means lawmakers and the governor head back to the drawing board to find a way to solve the state’s pension crisis, which is the worst in the nation. WBEZ’s Tony Arnold covers Statehouse politics in Illinois and he joins us with more on this ruling. We also get reactions from Dan Montgomery of the Illinois Federation of Teachers and Laurence Msall of the Civic Federation.
