Default Illinois Comptroller Lays Out Case for a Major Crash and Burn
Seems like Illinois just can't take care of all the state's needy and deadbeats.

problem is - in their minds they haven't run out yet, because other states will be expected to chip-in.

I imagine ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC. NBC will show videos of malnourished elderly in the state... and crying children with flies buzzing around their heads.

saw a segment last night on Tucker, talking to some democrat from Baltimore, and how they spend a fortune on schools, and yet 6 schools had a zero pass rate on state mandated tests - no one could read or do math! zero. and he blathers on and starts talking about "resources" - money - from other places. you have plenty of money, but you waste it. fix it. you have enough.

and with the local DA chasing off cops, no wonder the good cops are leaving for other jurisdictions. Howard county is much nicer, fewer gang bangers, and the pay is about the same. duh. (i lived in Montgomery Co. for 30+ years, so i know the area pretty well).

The ironic thing about this is, when the Mob ran the numbers, winners always got paid, and on time. What does it say about the state government when the Mob is more ethical than state government?

We have our house for sale now. Sure we are going to end up taking a bath on it but our taxes are now almost as much as the annual mortgage payments and they are scheduled to go up again next year. Hoping to be in our Florida place by October




Cant wait to GTFO of Illinois.

Damned straight!

A vote the other day did not pass on freezing property taxes for 4 years. Shocker!

Don't blame everything on Chicago. After all, they gave the rest of us Obama for eight years!

OH the back channel stories we could have, I get back from PT a while ago, and here to read this, and the kid coaching me, doing stretching exercises, is from Monkey Co.....I was born there and lived in the county for 53 years except for one year in Tejas '70......FW area.....

I know that Bawltimore town pretty well, and some inside info on the later cop go round over Freddy Gray......and liberals....

much less the Fed.gov types I have known/married to/seen in operation or NOT, as it were, for all that time,
