http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/transcript-of-fox-news-interview-with-illinois-governor-bruce-rauner.html
— WILL COUNTY CONSIDERS VOTE TO SAVE TAXPAYERS BY ENDING ELECTED OFFICIALS’ PENSIONS (DIERSEN: To qualify for my Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) pension, I had to work 40 hour per week 1971-1997, but I got full-time CSRS credit for 1966-1969 even though I only worked part-time.)
http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2017/08/will-county-considers-vote-to-save-taxpayers-by-ending-elected-officials-pensions.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Asking Will County taxpayers to contact their board members before Thursday night’s meeting, Balich said there is no enforcement how many hours they work as they answer only to the public. “The IMRF the pension plan only requires 600 hours per year which is 11 ½ hours a week with reporting by the elected office holder. Pension double-dipping is another problem,” he wrote.)
