Because pensioners have paid into their pensions for YEARS and DESERVE THEIR money! It’s not our fault for this problem! Needs to be fixed.

First they took our Medical Ins. away, Now they are trying to take the pension away. I'm sure the city council gets a good pension.

As police officers, we paid 9 1/2% of our paychecks into a pension fund. To have income when we retire we need this to
Live.

To make sure we preserve what we paid into for an entire career and not lose it due to financial mismanagement.

We all did our part, now make the city do theirs! We deserve our pensions after continuous years of dedicated hard work.

Our seniors need to know they have some stability as they age. We worked at a job they can’t get anyone to apply for. It’s time for the city to honor the promise they made to us when we were hired!

The City of Chicago under Raymond Emanuel illegally took away retiree’s healthcare. Now the latest mayor is trying to bankrupt the City to quit funding our guaranteed pensions.

Police officers, my self included, deserve the pension they have worked tirelessly for in retirement.

Protect pensions! People have worked their whole lives and promised a pension. This should be protected at all cost!

Because NO ONE in the Chicago City Council is addressing this issue which resulted from UNDERFUNDING pensions to city workers for many years....

I am a retired police officer and rely on the pension I worked diligently for my entire 27 year career. Former Mayor Richard M. Daley who is responsible for most of the pension’s woes, receives four pensions and I am certain that he will never have to face the uncertainty that I and my fellow retirees are now facing. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Like the rest of my colleagues I spent 26 years on the job and almost lost my life for it. Similar to Social Security these are benefits we paid for and earned. We deserve better than this.
