Thompson was best known as Governor for his approval of compounding, 3% COLA increases for retirees from Illinois government jobs, which is considered a major portion of Illinois's pension crisis.

But clearly it's all THE DEMOCRATS' FAULT as the GOP insists.

Anyway, he managed to serve as IL governor for 14 years without facing a felony indictment, so that's an achievement in and of itself.
