This article discusses Mayor Emanuel’s plan to tackle a sharp increase in required payments to the City’s pension funds next year, based on a 2010 law aimed at bringing the City’s Police and Fire pension funds back to 90 percent funded by 2040. The Civic Federation said the law’s 25-year funding plan was a political construct and not tied to any actuarial analysis.
