Eric Zorn's piece in today's Chicago Tribune, "according to Section 3-147 of the Illinois Pension Code says that pension benefits are to be denied "to any person who is convicted of any felony relating to or arising out of or in connection with his or her service as a police officer."

Zorn calls on the Illinois General Assembly to amend Section 3-147 and calls for a special commission to hear evidence and pass judgment in cases of pension-eligible employees who die before plausible allegations of felonious official misconduct can be adjudicated.
