WTTW, Chicago Tonight

This segment reports on the Illinois General Assembly overriding Governor Rauner’s veto of pension reforms for the City of Chicago’s police and fire pension funds and on the short and long-term effects of the legislation. Laurence Msall, President of the Civic Federation, says the reforms will ease financial pressure for City taxpayers in the short-term and give the Mayor more flexibility going forward.
