WTTW's Chicago Tonight

This segment discusses Governor Quinn’s opposition to the property tax component of Chicago’s recent pension reform plan for its Municipal and Labor funds. The Civic Federation said increased property taxes have to be part of a solution to save the pension funds, and noted the Chicago Park District’s successful pension reform package included increased employer contributions that will likely be funded by property tax increases.
