In reply to the discussion: (Illinois) State Supreme Court says retiree health benefits are protected by constitution [View all]LovingA2andMI

This is why reading the second article attached above is important.
Learn why Governor Rick Snyder in Detroit's Bankruptcy case, is mandating Detroit Retirees vote to cut their pensions despite the State's Constitutional Language, why the Governor could not unilaterally (with the Federal Bankruptcy Judge approval of course) take this action on his own, how the Illinois decision connects hook, line and sinker to the vote Detroit Retirees will take on the Grand Bargain and more.
A 60 section analysis on a forum message board without research on the Detroit situation, is not the most prudent action to take. Just saying.
