You have made public employees and retirees scapegoats of another insidious pension reform bill that will never resolve the state’s deficit problems you have created and perpetuated.

You have made public employees and retirees victims of your vast resources of money and influence to reform the rules and policies that adversely affect the lives of the middle class and disenfranchised.
You have made public employees and retirees scapegoats of your partisan politics, of your policies financed by money interest groups such as the Civic Committee of the Commercial Club of Chicago, the Civic Federation, and the Illinois Policy Institute; of corporate-owned media like the Chicago Tribune that attempts to shape what and how readers think about the state’s fiscal issues through divide-and-conquer schemes and lies.

You have made public employees and retirees victims of your concentrated economic privilege and power by accommodating and reinforcing the enormous inequality of organizational resources of your corporate self-seekers.

You have made public employees and retirees scapegoats of your legislative tyranny once again. You have no desire to uphold the State and U.S. Constitutions and pay what public employees and retirees have rightfully earned. You will steal more of their money in the future until the people unite and rise up against all of you and dismantle your hypocrisy and corruption. Glen Brown
