Springfield, Ill. – The focus is on gerrymandering and pensions this week said State Senator Dan Duffy (R- Lake Barrington), who explained that the third public hearing of the Senate Redistricting Committee has been scheduled for Sept. 22.

Also this week, a Senate task force on pensions met to discuss the state’s massive pension debt, and offer tentative solutions to reducing Illinois’ pension obligations. Senator Duffy said that Illinois has consistently held the dubious distinction of claiming the worst pension funding problem in the nation.

Gerrymandering reform will again be the topic at the third public hearing of the Illinois Senate Committee on Redistricting, which will be on Tuesday, Sept. 22 in Peoria. The hearing will begin at 12:00 p.m. and will be held in Bradley University's Hartmann Theatre Center, located at 1453 St. James Street.

Among those scheduled to testify at the hearing will be Brad McMillan of Bradley University's Institute for Principled Leadership in Public Service. McMillan is a member of the Illinois Reform Commission, which has proposed a major reform of Illinois' redistricting laws to reduce  political gerrymandering – the drawing of legislative and congressional districts to provide an automatic advantage either to a political party or to incumbent officeholders.
