Fix Tier 2: Call Gov. Pritzker today by calling (844) 217-7510

Today, We Are One Illinois filed SB1937, amended legislation that makes real progress to ensure public employees on Tier 2 can receive a more fair and decent pension while also strengthening the state’s finances for the long term. 

We believe this proposal satisfies Governor Pritzker’s fiscal requirements to fix Tier 2 pensions: it will not add to the state’s unfunded pension liability, nor negatively impact the state’s credit ratings, nor require significant additional funding from the state budget this year or in the near future. We wrote to the governor today updating him on our Tier 2 progress and asking him to stand with us in supporting this legislation. 

In short, this proposal can put us on a path to improve the inadequate and insufficient Tier 2 pensions for public employees while also addressing our state’s decades-long pension funding problems – and without damaging our current budgetary situation. 

TAKE ACTION: Contact Gov. Pritzker by email or by calling (844) 217-7510 right away and ask him to stand with public employees and support SB 1937, We Are One Illinois’ legislation to make significant improvements to Tier 2 pensions.
