One of Illinois’s leading advocates for fiscal and budgetary reform has died.
Laurence Msall was president of the Civic Federation of Chicago, and used that platform to advocate for fiscal responsibility and pension reform.
Politicians in both parties consulted with him and listened to his recommendations – leading to changes like the adoption of a two-tier pension system for state workers.
Msall died over the weekend of complications from a surgical procedure.
He was 61.
