Top Democrats wriggling about on the issue of pensions
Daniel Biss
It makes me squirm listening to  Daniel Biss  squirm about pensions.
âThat was a long learning process for me  and I wish Iâd learned that lesson differently â a penitent  Biss  said during a recent video-recorded appearance before the Crainâs Editorial Board. The bill with his name on it presented âthe least bad of the bad options â he said. It âwasnât the best way forward â¦ but I allowed myself to accept the idea that we canât do better.â
 Biss  confessed to the Daily Herald that âthere was kind of an obsessive hysteria about (pensions) a few years ago that led a lot of people in the legislature  myself included  to act irresponsibly.â
âI learned my lesson  and I think the Supreme Court helped teach us a really important lesson â said  Biss  in  his  Crainâs interview. âThe Supreme Court was right. These pensions were promised to people.â
And Pritzker  now a pious champion on the stump of the union-friendly position  is running TV ads trembling with indignation about  Biss â lack of consistency and  his  dalliance with benefit cuts?
