A press release from State Rep. Allen Skillicorn:

WITH SUSPENSION OF ACTUARY, SKILLICORN CALLS FOR RECALCULATION AND REVIEW OF ALL ILLINOIS PENSION PLANS

East Dundee, IL – In light of the American Academy of Actuaries suspending Timothy W. Sharpe from membership for a period of two years for materially failing to comply with parts of its Code of Professional Conduct, Representative Allen Skillicorn is calling for a recalculation and review of every Illinois pension Mr. Sharpe was involved in.

Skillicorn stated,

Allen Skillicorn

“You cannot begin to address a problem if the magnitude isn’t fully understood.

“With the suspension of Mr. Sharpe, it is imperative that we conduct a review and recalculation of every pension he was involved in.

“Illinois’ massive unfunded pension liability is estimated to be anywhere from $150 billion to $250 billion affecting our credit rating, which is just barely above ‘junk’ status.

“The public has a right to know if the situation is even worse.”
