Video: Chicago Mayoral Candidates Debate Pension Changes, Possible Benefit Cuts

Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and his opponent, Jesus “Chuy” Garcia, sat down side-by-side on Monday to discuss how they would each tackle the city’s pension problems.

Emanuel used the opportunity to double down on his own plan, which includes benefit cuts for some workers. In his words: “Everybody gives a little, nobody gives too much.”

Garcia, while light on specifics, also hinted at an “innovative” reform plan waiting in the wings – but he also said he thinks courts will find Emanuel’s reform plan unconstitutional.

Watch the video above for the full discussion.
