The Constitutional Convention Question: A Direct Threat to the Illinois Public Pension System | |||||||||
While the current presidential elections have received most of the News
coverage in the State, on November 4, Illinois voters will have an equally
important decision to make in casting their vote. On Election Day, Illinois
Voters will be asked if they support holding a Constitutional Convention,
which could result in a new Constitution for the State of Illinois. The
Constitution of the state is the overarching framework of all Illinois laws.
Currently, it provides many protections, such as equal rights, limited
income taxation and protections for workers’ pensions. In order to safeguard
these protections, and for the reasons listed below, the Fraternal Order of
Police Labor Council urges you to vote “NO” on the question of whether to
hold a Constitutional Convention. View our Fact Sheet. | |||||||||
