Governor Quinn is on board with a legislative plan to stop double-dipping into more than one pension system.  If he signs the bill it will prohibit two union leaders from getting payouts from the Teachers Retirement System.  David Ormsby, a spokesperson for the men, calls the move unconstitutional.

The union leaders earned the government pension after substitute teaching for just one day.  Some lawmakers expressed concern over a potential constitutional breach with the reform but agreed something must be done to end abuse within the system.  The constitution prohibits lawmakers from reducing or tampering with pensions once they've been established.  Ormsby says his clients are considering their legal options and prepared to fight the battle in court if that's what it comes down to.
