Chicago Suburb Vents Over Public Pensions

Highland Park News reports:

Dozens of Highland Park residents confronted their Park District commissioners Thursday night, demanding that they resign for approving a series of exorbitant bonuses, salary increases and pension boosting payouts to top district executives between 2005 and 2008.

Many of the furious attendees that packed the Highland Park Community House ballroom held signs that said "Resign!" and pointed their unyielding comments at Board President Lorry Werhane and commissioners Stacy Weiss and Nancy Rosenbaum, the three members that were on the Park Board during that time.
