Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Pensions
Court dismissed class action suit which alleged that Defendants CTA and related entities substantially diminished and impaired vested retirement health care benefits of current and retired CTA employees. Court properly found that current CTA employees lacked standing to bring claims. Retired CTA employees have vested right to at least some portion of retiree health benefits, and stated a cause of action against all defendants for declaratory judgment.(McBRIDE and PALMER, concurring.)
