| Illinois governor vetoes Chicago pension fix, angers city's mayor Posted: 25 Mar 2017 04:36 AM PDT  By Dave McKinney CHICAGO (Reuters) - Illinois Governor Bruce Rauner on Friday vetoed a legislative fix favored by Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel for two of the city's struggling pension funds and castigated it as a "kick-the-can approach." The financial footing and credit ratings for the nation's third-largest city have slipped precipitously as its unfunded pension liabilities grew to $33.8 billion for Chicago's four retirement systems in the most recent accounting. The plan that passed the Illinois Senate unanimously in January and cleared the House overwhelmingly last December would have granted the state's blessing to alter the city's pension repayment schedule for its municipal and laborers' retirement systems.
