I'm not up to speed with details around this, but a Chicago Sun Time political reporter just resigned and posted his resignation to the web.

Whatever the facts, it's quite the resignation letter and certainly will have Sun Times PR working overtime.

      - He wants to shift to a defined contribution plan instead of a defined benefit plan for anything going forward. So he'll preserve current benefits, - pmb Oct 22, 13:22
Rauner is a piece of work. It sucks that he might beat Quinn. - Focused, Non-Terminal Repeating Phantasm Oct 22, 12:43
I'm familiar with his work. Too bad. - Kim Pine Oct 22, 12:40
