Illinois State Rep. Mike Bost Goes on Tirade Over Pension Bill, Screams That Dems Should Be âAshamedâ of Themselves
FINALLY, Illinois State Representative Mike Bost has finally had enough of politics as usual in the State of Illinois and wants to know why they don't READ THE BILL.
Bost erupted on the House floor Tuesday afternoon, after Mike Madigan and the party leadership called for a vote on a new pension reform proposal.
House Speaker Mike Madigan had only introduced the bill that same morning. It passed on a six to three vote and moved to the House floor for discussion within a couple of hours.
He said that the bill shifts the burden of the stateâs $83 billion worth of unfunded pension liabilities to taxpayers, âinstead of taking care of the real issue which is trying to reform the system so that it works sensibly and also meets its obligations.â
The bill is hundreds of pages long, and Bost says lawmakers should not be voting on a proposal without first reading it.
