ILSen: Truax rips Illinois pension "fix" and Oberweis

Doug Truax, a successful businessman and Republican candidate for the US Senate in Illinois, issued a statement about the so-called public pension fix and his primary opponent, perennial candidate Jim Oberwies.

Illinois is the worst run state in America due to a political class — largely Democrats — that consistently fails to put the interests of everyday taxpayers first. My opponent in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, Jim Oberweis, knows this but voted anyway in favor of a tepid pension reform bill that is likely to result in further tax increases and a continued stagnant economy. Every other financial "fix" passed in Springfield the past decade has harmed taxpayers. Mr. Oberweis needs to explain why he so easily voted with the status quo that never solves problems but rather transfers them to the next generation.
