IEA Recommendations to Pension Task Force
October 16, 2009 by IEA Communications
The Illinois Education Association has delivered a list of recommendations to the Pension Modernization Task Force. The task force was created by the General Assembly during the spring legislative session and is charged with studying the pension systems with the purpose of making recommendations to the governor.
IEA, represented by Lobbyist Will Lovett, has been at the table at each of the task force meetings. Labor, government, business and annuitants have representatives at the table and each of participating groups can develop recommendations for the entire task force to consider.
The final report is expected to be complete by the first week of November.

Please review the documents because they will be of great value to our efforts to inform/educate members of the General Assembly that:
- The benefits for IEA members are cost effective for the state.
- When compared to benefits paid in neighboring states, the benefits for IEA members are well within the mainstream.
Good to see some good data to support our position.
I appreciate the work being done to protect our pension. The factual information to support our pension is persuasive. Thank you for informing us.
