  1. Legislators generous with scholarships before start of ban

    Even as the troubled legislative scholarship program was on its last legs, state lawmakers continued to make questionable choices and show possible political favoritism in awarding the free college tuition, a Tribune analysis found.

  2. Politicians at top of game when it comes to kicking the can

    Contrary to popular opinion, our national pastime is not football or baseball, beer pong, "Grand Theft Auto" or keeping up with the Kardashians.

  5. Getting past gridlock

    In the next life, whatever that entails, we'll be thrilled if we never have to type the phrase "ruinous Illinois pension crisis." But before we shuffle off what Shakespeare called this mortal coil, writing about our state officials' failure to fix the retirement system that many of them helped drive to destitution is our lot. By their inaction these politicians are dooming not only taxpayers and public-sector retirees, but the financial ability of Illinois to meet its many other needs.

  6. Water reclamation pension peace could be blueprint for state

  8. Legislators punt on pension reform but pass gambling expansion

    — State lawmakers spent the final day of the spring session failing to act on the crucial issue of pension reform, instead approving a major gambling expansion that wasn't at the top of the agenda.

  9. Good start. Now finish.

    Faced with what he labeled a "rendezvous with reality," Gov. Pat Quinn has confronted Illinois legislators with an ultimatum: Reform runaway Medicaid and pension spending or subject the least creditworthy state in America to even more costly bond rating downgrades. He noted that rating agency Standard & Poor's says it could drop Illinois "by more than one notch" if the state won't fix its finances.
