AUDIO: Dea Meyer of the Civic Cmte Talks About How Pension Debt Has Already Kept at Least One Firm From Moving to IL

Nov 19, 2011: Dea Meyer of the Civic Cmte of the Commercial Club, was one of the participants talking about Illinois' pensions, on a panel at the IL Assn of School Boards Annual Conference. In this clip Ms Meyer is talking about how one business, that was looking to relocate, quickly wrote off Illinois as a location, due to it's overwhelming pension debt, and it's refusal to address the problem in a significant way.

The Civic Cmte of the Commercial Club of Chicago is one of the primary supporters of SB-512, the Pension Reform bill, that would create a three-tiered pension benefit system for state employees, and thus save the state millions in future obligations.
