Dan Tobben Quoted in The Daily Northwestern about Evanston Pension Funding

The Daily Northwestern quoted Dan Tobben in “Attorneys’ weekly blog adds voice to pension fund dispute” referring to the firm’s recently launched Protecting Public Pensions blog.

The objective of the blog is to explain the origins of the crisis and how it will eventually be solved. Attorneys Dan Tobben, who successfully represented the St. Louis firefighters in their suit for pension payment, and David Binder started posting on the issue Monday.

“What we’re trying to do is raise the issue and encourage public discussion,” said Tobben, a [principal] at Danna McKitrick in Clayton, Mo. “Evanston needs to solve their problems one way or another, and this discussion hopefully will help them see that.”

“Everything is riding on these pensions,” Tobben said. “To me, the idea that the city doesn’t honor its obligations to its police and firefighters, it’s kind of like if we as Americans don’t honor our obligations to our military.”
