From the linked article-

"Gannon, former president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, was able to take a long leave from a city job to work for a union and then receive a city pension based on a high union salary. That arrangement is allowed under a state law signed by Gov. Jim Thompson on his last day in office in 1991, according to an investigation by the Tribune and WGN-TV."
Governor Thompson was a Republican.
OOH, those wacky republicons, just like them to turn a loophole into a law and then jump up and down and point fingers when someone other then them benefits.

The Chicago Tribune is a right leaning propaganda rag.
