in our google hang out, tony martin, firefighter and secretary for the firefighter's benefit fund of chicago. and if investigation with the better government's association. weapon to all of you. so representative, earlier this month, the legislation passed a pension reform bill, but chicago was not included. and give us the highlights of how the state is trying to solve the problem and why chicago is not in the process. >> the state has a $100 million liability that was putting a squeeze on the rest of the budget. so just in the last two years alone, out of our revenue expenditures, the pension had increased $2 billion just in the last years, and we devoted 22 cents of every tax dollar to making our pension payment, while most states in the country are in the 4 to 5-cent range. so we needed a plan to allow us to pay down that debt over the next 30 years, and i think that we have a sound plan now that will allow us to do that. the city of chicago has it's own pension funds, as you mentioned, and we have a think the sense was that we wanted to come to some conclusion on the state funds
