MADIGAN & CULLERTON AGREE

No, not on pension reform...

...but on suing Governor Pat Quinn for halting the paychecks of Illinois legislators until such time that they come up with a solution to the pension crisis.


From the Southern Illinoisan...

Madigan, Cullerton file lawsuit over halted pay


Hypocrisy...

...thy name is Michael Madigan.

Madigan says that for the Governor to halt his paycheck is "purely political and unconstitutional."

Yet...

...even though the Illinois Constitution clearly states that the pensions of state retirees cannot be reduced, Madigan insists on pushing a pension reform plan that would do so.

While the goose honks, retirees can only gander...

...aka, do as I say, not as I do!
