But before we shuffle off what Shakespeare called this mortal coil, writing about our state officials' failure to fix the retirement system that many of them helped drive to destitution is our lot. By their inaction these politicians are dooming not only taxpayers and public-sector retirees, but the financial ability of Illinois to meet its many other needs.

  11. A deep breath, then back to work
