Illinois will become an agricultural waste land when the Republican farmers finally say enough of this shite. Chicago and the public unions of that state are the reason for them being in the economic/financial shitter.

They can put the blame on the pension but really they aren't funded them as well.
quote:
Illinois has the worst-funded state pension system, at 39 percent, far below the 80 percent level considered healthy.....along with the state's nearly $97 billion unfunded pension liability and structural budget deficit.

Two comments: 4 of the last 7 governors in Illinois have been sent to the Federal pen. More importantly: Bobby,move up there. Please.

Yeah. Please gives us back Edwin Edwards and his cronies. 
I'd rather Bobby J than any other Louisiana Governor in my lifetime.

Over and over and over again we see democrat policy destroying states that should be rich like Illinois and California.
Many don't realize that Illinois has some of the finest ag land in the entire US. California is blessed with more natural resources than virtually any country on earth and it is a trainwreck economically.
Guess who has controlled these states for decades...
