City awaits help from Springfield, borrows $220 million for pension payments - Chicago Tribune: "Potential year-end budget shortfall has forced Mayor Rahm Emanuel's administration to borrow $220 million in yet another sign of the city's precarious pension funding status.
The city drew the money down from its $900 million line of short-term credit, which is akin to putting the tab on a credit card. The loan carries an interest rate of about 3 percent.
The money is not due to police and fire pension funds until the end of the year. But the city had to borrow the money to meet a March 1 deadline for having the cash in its treasury, Budget Director Alexandra Holt said. "State law requires that we deposit the money with the treasurer to demonstrate we have the money available if it's needed," she said."
“Celebrating 25 Years of Service: Unite, Ignite, and Empower” “We train and support volunteer leaders of credit unions serving first responders to run stronger, more effective institutions.” “Great things happen when credit unions serving first responders come together. Our face-to-face and on-line interaction is the platform where collaboration begins, and GREAT ideas are generated.”
