This article discusses a report released April 9 by Cook County Commissioner Bridget Gainer that outlines how Cook County’s pension fund will go broke in 26 years without immediate reforms. The Civic Federation applauds Commissioner Gainer’s efforts to address the pension crisis and says that meaningful pension reform will require engagement from the entire County Board and the Illinois General Assembly.
