It outlines how an Illinois lobbyist was made a substitute teacher for 1 day then got 10 years worth of credit for a Teachers Union Pension!
It's not us worker bees that are ruining public employee pensions!
From the article-
The Chicago Tribune recently opined on this horrific example.
…a controversial state law…allowed a lobbyist for the Illinois Federation of Teachers, David Piccioli, to become certified as a substitute teacher in December 2006 by working one dayat a Springfield elementary school — and to buy pension credit for his 10 previous years working as a lobbyist. That sweet deal qualified him for a pension windfall from a teachers retirement fund that as of late 2018 carried an unfunded liability of more than $75 billion-with-a-B. Because he also draws a pension from a previous job as a House Democratic aide, Piccioli’s total pension income now rises to nearly $100,000.
