Biography

He graduated from

Democratic Committeeman for Chicago's 12th ward.[2] In 1993, he was elected to the Illinois Senate.[1] He was later elected to the Illinois House of Representatives. Upon his retirement from the state legislature on December 4, 2008, Molaro was eligible for a public pension of about $64,000 annually based on the formula for Illinois lawmakers of 85% of their last salary. Chicago Alderman Edward M. Burke hired Molaro as an expert on pensions to write a 19-page white paper on Chicago's pension funds. Molaro worked as an aide to Burke for one month, earned $12,000, and nearly doubled his pension.[3][4] On June 15, 2020, Molaro died of pancreatic cancer.[5][6]
