In Illinois you are allowed to double, triple, even quadruple-dip on the public pensions.
So typical career for a public employee in Illinois might be: start out with a city job, work just long enough to secure a pension, then get a job with the county, work there long enough to secure another pension, and finally, get a state job and secure your third pension, then retire and cash out.
