HB 3695 would have established the tax levy for the Chicago Teachers Pension Fund so that the monies collected would go directly to the fund as was the case prior to 1995 when Springfield redirected the money into the general coffers of CPS. It would not have solved the funding problems at the CTPF but it would have started to create that stable revenue flow that pension funds need to survive. But Rahm did not want it so it was not done. Thanks to Rahm and John, our pension fund continues to struggle, selling off assets every month to pay benefits. Just part of the grand plan to destroy the pensions, especially of Chicago teachers that Rahm hates so much. And the games continue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
