Springfield, IL… Governor Pat Quinn signed Senate Bill 1946 into law today which will bring much needed pension reform to the State of Illinois. State Representative Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein) voted in favor of the bill. Sullivan says the bill modernizes the state’s 13 pension systems for new hires.
“We need to stress that this does not affect current employees,” said Sullivan. “With these changes to future employees’ pensions, the state will be saving upwards of $100 billion over the next few decades. What was signed into law today is a step in the right direction towards stabilizing the long-term fiscal health of our state and protecting the pension systems from insolvency.”
Springfield…State Representative Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein), along with his House Republican collogues and reformer Adam Andrzejewski, are calling for a comprehensive forensic audit of Illinois’ finances dating back to former Governor Rod Blagojevich’s first-term. At a press conference in the State capitol today, Sullivan introduced House Resolution 1057 which would require the Auditor General to conduct a forensic audit of all State spending, hiring, contracts awarded and the appointment of board and commission officials made during the Blagojevich and Quinn administrations.
Springfield, IL… Governor Pat Quinn gave his second budget address today since taking over for impeached Governor Rod Blagojevich.

Mundelein, IL… In the middle of two wars and a down economy, State Representative Ed Sullivan (R-Mundelein) has announced that he is teaming up with Cell Phones for Soldiers and is using his office as a drop-off location for donated cell phones.
Mundelein, IL… Five years after Illinois passed comprehensive tort reform, expanding patient access to health care, lessening frivolous lawsuits and lowering malpractice rates to keep doctors in Illinois, the Illinois Supreme Court struck a blow to the state’s already ailing health care system by ruling the reform unconstitutional. In the court case Lebron v. Gottlieb Memorial Hospital, the Illinois Supreme Court ruled the “damage limitation violates the constitutional principle of separation of powers by interfering with the authority of the judicial branch to reduce verdicts.”
State Representative Ed Sullivan (R – Mundelein) is disappointed with the court’s ruling.
