Quinn wants special session on pensions next month
(MCT) — Gov. Pat Quinn hinted Wednesday that lawmakers may be called to return to Springfield next month to attempt to deal with an overhaul of the state's public employee pension system.
The governor stopped short of saying he will call a special session but once again said he's tired of waiting. Lawmakers have spent much of the summer studying pension issues after they were unable to reach an agreement on changes during the spring session.
