War!!! Illinois Union Leader Attacks Public Pension Reform Law -Democrat Party Coalition Confronts the Hard Math

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
One day after Gov. Pat Quinn signed pension reform into law, a top union leader blasted the package as “grand larceny” even as a leading bond-rating agency predicted Friday it could “substantially ease” Illinois’ worst-in-the-nation, $100 billion pension crisis.

Henry L. Bayer, executive director of AFSCME Council 31, said it’s outrageous that the General Assembly has chosen to cut meager benefits for state workers, while voting to hand out huge tax breaks to corporations doing business in Illinois.

“Clearly what happened this week was unconstitutional,” said Bayer, speaking during a labor relations law conference at IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. “What happened this week was grand larceny.”
We are constantly told by the MSM that the Republicans have problems being unified. What about the Democrats???
