New Wirepoints research shows that 102 of Illinois’ 175 largest cities get an “F” for their local pension crisis. That’s a dramatic increase compared to 2003, when only seven cities received an “F” grade. Among Illinois’ 20 largest cities, Peoria was the state’s worst-off municipality with an “F” grade. Naperville was the best-off with a “C” grade.
