In this Dec. 13, 2005 photo, Naperville Ill., city councilman Grant Wehrli poses for a photo in Naperville. Dozens of former elected officials in suburbs surrounding Chicago are collectively receiving tens of thousands of dollars a year in pension benefits even though they mostly worked part time. Some current and former office holders are questioning whether part-time work as an alderman, mayor or clerk deserves such benefits. Wehrli tried to do away with his pension eligibility but was voted down by fellow council members. Once officials have entered the Illinois Municipal Retirement Fund they can't opt out without such a vote or without stepping down. (AP Photo/Daily Herald, Paul Michna) MANDATORY CREDIT, MAGS OUT
