Second City Showdown Over Pensions

The Wall Street Journal reports:

A political civil war may soon break out in Illinois, pitting Democrats against their labor supporters and Chicago politicians against state lawmakers.

At the heart of the feud is a bill supported by Democratic Governor Pat Quinn and the state legislature that would force municipalities to increase their contributions toward police and firefighter pensions. If municipalities refuse, the bill would allow the state to withhold sales and income tax revenues from them.

War in the Democrat party.
