FILE - In this Jan. 9, 2013 file photo, Peoria firefighters attack a fire with an aerial truck at the Archer Daniels Midland plant in Peoria, Ill. Peoria, which has a population of 115,000, is in somewhat better shape than other larger Illinois cities when it comes to pension funding levels with about $160 million in unfunded debt, but Mayor Jim Ardis is still calling for changes in police and fire pension benefits going forward. He says legislators handed out generous benefits then left cities to foot the bill. “There is no way anybody can look at these pensions and realistically say they’re (always) going to be funded,” Ardis said.(AP Photo/Journal Star, Adam Gerik,File)
