This article discusses a proposal for the City of Chicago’s severely underfunded police and fire pension funds that would delay the date when the City is required to start making contributions sufficient to bring the funded ratio of each fund to 90% in 40 years from FY2015 to FY2022. The Civic Federation said delay is not an option for the funds, which are less than 10 years from insolvency absent funding reforms.
