Illinois pension funds suffer steep losses as audit warns
An audit shows state retirement investments fell sharply with stock and bond values down. The five funds for teachers, universities, state employees, judges, and the General Assembly saw funding ratios slide from July 2001 to June 2002, with the judges at 34 percent and GA at 29 percent. Pension reform in 1995 aimed to pay debt by 2046, while markets remained volatile.
