Happy New Year

ast year, I listed New Year resolutions for IEA fight for pensions, lobby legislators, write editorials, increase member participation in recommendation meetings and political action. Looking back, we were quite successful. Many of these resolutions will continue, from my perspective. This year, I made a new list for each of you to consider adding to your own resolutions: Invest in a 403b Whether its a very small amount ($10 or $25) a month, or larger, all educators must be investing. In these uncertain times, we must protect ourselves against pension changes, supplement our future income and prepare for decreased income in retirement.

by IEA President Cinda Klickna

I hope you will consider these New Years resolutions. Have a great 2013!

Capitol Report
THE 2012 LEGISLATIVE VETO SESSION in late
November and early December produced limited action on most key issues affecting the IEA and public education. The limited nature of the veto session, those bills that were vetoed by the Governor, meant that only six bills should be up for consideration. But, as has become the tradition in Illinois, other issues are discussed and voted upon. One surprise was SB 282, the proposal introduced by Senate President Cullerton, would require public corporations to make tax filings public. If the corporation does not pay any taxes, it would have to disclose why. Additionally, publicly-traded corporations doing business in Illinois would have to disclose detailed information from their Illinois income tax returns, including how much income and replacement tax they paid each year. The legislation narrowly passed the Senate and is awaiting a hearing in the House.

by IEA Government Relations Director Jim Reed annuity. The COLA for most members in TRS and SURS would become an annual $750. d. Current retirees would have their annuities frozen to meet the criteria of the second dot point and they would have their COLA reduced to the amount specified in dot point number three. 2. Changes for actives only: a. The age for retirement eligibility would change as follows: i. Members older than 46 would see no change. ii. Members between 40-45 would have to work an additional year. iii. Members 35-39 would have to work three additional years. iv. Members younger than 34 would have to work five more years. 3. The age of a member on the day the legislation takes effect would be used to determine how these new requirements would be applied. 4. Pension contribution increase: Members would pay one percent more of their salary toward their pension the first year and two percent the second year. 5. Pensionable salary cap: The legislation would cap pensionable salary to the Social Security Wage Base ($113,700 for calendar year 2013) or the members salary on the day the legislation takes effect. 6. Changes for members in Tier Two: a. There would be a Cash Balance Plan implemented for future hires. Current Tier Two members would have the option to participate in the cash balance plan. b. The cash balance plan applies interest to the retirement contributions by and for members. The balance of the contributions grows at a variable interest rate and a portion is annuitized when the member retires. The retirement system is responsible for investing the contributions by and for the member.

PENSIONS
During the second week of the veto session, a number of rank-andfile legislators introduced HB 6258 (Nekritz, D-Northbrook). The overview explains the proposal and how it would affect members of the Teachers Retirement System (TRS) and the State Universities Retirement System (SURS). The bill includes teachers, state employees, higher education employees and members of the legislature. IMRF was not included in this piece of legislation. However, those that participate in IMRF must know that any benefit reduction legislation that passes for the state pension systems will certainly be applied to IMRF soon after it passes. The constitutionality of many parts of this bill is in question. 1. Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA) changes: a. Changes would apply to active and already retired members. b. The COLA would be payable only when a retiree has reached age 67 or after five years of retirement, whichever comes first. This provision applies to current retirees. Currently, members can receive their 3 percent compounded COLA upon reaching age 61. c. A new COLA equal to the lesser of $750 or 3 percent of the

7. Cost-shift: The proposal would shift the cost of downstate and suburban teachers and higher education staff pensions from the state to local schools, universities and community colleges. This proposal is phased in over a number of years. However, many schools already face severe budget cuts which limit educational opportunities for students. This cost-shift would drain millions of dollars from these downstate and suburban educational institutions. 8. New pension funding plan: a. The proposal creates new revenue to fund the pension systems by using money freed up from bond payments to pay down the pension debt. b. Pension funding would be considered a constitutionally-protected benefit under this proposal. So, as we prepare for the lame duck session, which is scheduled to begin on Jan. 2, what can we expect? There will be a number of com-

peting interests all revolving around the need for revenue and an immediate end to the pension controversy. There will be those who claim that the gaming bill is essential and must be dealt with immediately to create much needed revenue. There will be those who claim that the income tax needs to be made permanent right now because of the 35 legislators who are free to vote their conscience without fear of losing their seats There will be those who believe that the states bond rating will be negatively impacted without the resolution of the pension crisis. Who will prevail? No one knows. But, we do know that each of these proposals is colossal and will require a great deal of conversation and arm twisting to get passed. The likelihood that all of them get passed is remote. The challenge is to be ready for whichever proposal comes before the General Assembly for a vote. Each of these proposals will have a significant impact on public education. So, we will do our due diligence and be at the ready. We ask you to do the same.

Is it your turn to represent our state?

Theres no time like the present
to seriously consider becoming a delegate to the National Education Association Representative Assembly (NEA RA). The most important part of being a member of an association like the Illinois Education Association is the ability to have ones voice heard on a variety of issues that affect the working conditions of school employees and learning environments of students across this nation. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is to become a delegate to the NEA RA. This assembly is one of the largest democratically elected deliberative bodies in the world when it is seated, and the debates on educational issues are a true reflection of what each member experiences in his or her community. To become a part of such an important, exciting and influential assembly, follow these steps: 1. Note the deadlines below for submitting required paperwork. 2. Fill out the required forms on pages 5-7 of this issue and send it via certified mail to the IEA before the stated deadline. 3. Notify your local president, region council chairperson, and any other leaders in your area that you are running to be a delegate. Solicit their support and tell them to spread the word. 4. If you are a minority, and we strongly encourage minorities to run, be sure to notify IEA minority caucus chairpersons so that they can assist you in gathering votes across the state. 5. Make sure you are aware of the issues that are facing us nationally and talk about your desire to influence the debate with all IEA members you encounter. Check the IEA (www.ieanea.org) and NEA (www.nea.org) websites for issues of importance. 6. Make sure people in your local know you are running and that they VOTE when the time comes.
