Blagojevich sounds earnest

He seems genuinely concerned about the pension "crisis".

But if it's a "crisis" shouldn't the state bite the bullet and raise taxes?

BTW, is there anyway to get back some of the money from the people who got better than they deserved based on their contributions? Doesn't this seem like the baby boomers are shafting the younger people?

Knowing all along that IFT and AFSCME will never let his proposals get out of the box.

"But if it's a "crisis" shouldn't the state bite the bullet and raise taxes?"

Or commission a few more riverboats and land boats.
