Special Pension Committee Making Slow Progress

Illinois State Capitol
Illinois Public Radio

One member of the pension reform conference committee doesn't expect a deal to be reached anytime soon.

State Representative Jil Tracy acknowledges that progress has been slow, saying the committee has a few components in place, but nothing has been set in stone. Tracy says there was more dissension amongst committee members at the last meeting. She says she's not sure the final product will have the support of the entire 10-member committee.

Tracy says she's still hopeful that they'll be ready to recommend legislation in time for the Fall Veto session in October.
