"Illinois state employees, both uniformed and non-uniformed, have been loyally, faithfully, honorably, and patiently serving the state without a contract or cost-of-living pay increase for years, despite the fact that legislators and the governor have accepted hefty pay increases. All public employee unions should launch a signature-gathering initiative to place on the ballot a proposition that the Illinois constitution be amended to provide for compulsory binding arbitration for all uniformed and non-uniformed public employees, under the supervision of the state supreme court." The primary issue here is whether:

a. Illinois state employees have been loyally, faithfully, honor-ably, and patiently serving the state without a contract or cost-of-living pay increase for years
b. public employee unions should launch a signature-gathering initiative to place on the ballot a proposition that the Illinois constitu-tion be amended to provide for compulsory binding arbitration for all uniformed and non-uniformed public employees, under the supervision of the Illinois Supreme Court
c. Neither of the above
