This article follows the passage of Chicago’s FY2015 budget by a 46-4 City Council vote. The Civic Federation supported the budget in its November 3 analysis and said the proposal is a reasonable response to the City’s immediate financial situation. The Federation also warned that long-term financial stability cannot be achieved without further pension reform action from the Illinois General Assembly.
