The contents of this bill as well as its impact if it passes will be discussed. **This bill has passed out of committee and now goes to the house floor.** Senate Bill 1831 also passed out of committee and goes to the house floor. This bill is a direct attack on the autonomy of all Downstate Pension Funds. We will discuss these bills in detail. We will also try to get to some other news as well.
