New Illinois Law Blocks CTA, Metra and Pace Employees from Receiving a Public Pension After Conviction of a Job-Related Felony

CHICAGO–(ENEWSPF)–August 19, 2011.

This new law brings these transit agencies into line with other municipal governments and the state of Illinois, which already ban this practice.
