I retired based on the promise of the State of Illinois to provide insurance to retirees with 20 years or more of service ... I was 57 when I retired and wouldn't have retired had I not been confident that I'd have the State of Illinois coverage until I was eligible for Medicare. Now the State has decided to try to balance its budget on the back of its retirees ... effective July 1, 2012 the legislature passed the bill requiring me to pay the premium for my insurance ... and the governor signed it into effect. Can't afford to do without insurance, but certainly wasn't planning on having to pay an arm and a leg for it for almost 4 years (I won't be 65 until February, 2016). Sorry ... I'll step down off my soapbox now.

They gave me a sticker that says "I VOTED!" I was so excited, I called my daughter and told her and she's gonna' go vote just to get the sticker. lol Really, I'm proud of that sticker. I put it on my badge to wear to work. It's a privilege to vote...even if I don't understand the whole political scene of electoral college and "key states"....I want someone to know who I was rooting for. I had a neighbor with a sign in their yard that said, "Willie Nelson For President."
