this is always the problem. If you look where the pension bust is, its in the TRS where NO local school districts contributes money to their teachers and admins pensions (outside of Chicago). Really time for school districts to step up to the plate and have skin in the game. The rules must be changed.

New revenue streams being advocated from progressive state income tax to marijuana taxes to sports betting taxes.
