#1 Only if they pass voter ID and tighten up the voter rolls and mail-in ballots.

#2 Billion to good states, not a dime to corrupt states.

#3 I didn't vote them into debt. Why should anyone who didn't have a vote on their debt have to pay any of it?

#6 "pension crisis" = institutionalized graft.

These corrupt fooks are just shoveling money to themselves and their cronies.

#8 No problem with that, so long as Cook, Lake, and DuPage counties get NONE OF IT !

#9 In an election year, don't be surprised by anything, to include unjustified bail-outs.

#10 Illinois has been on financial life support for a long time thanks to crooked left-wing (Dem) politics. No federal bail-out; they will just use the money to finance the campaigns of Dem politicians.

#11 I hope to holy Hades they don't get a bail-out...any state or municipality. I understand the state's pension plan (Illinois) is protected/covered in the state's Constitution. I've not researched it myself, but I can believe it, knowing IL for what it is.

#12 gorb, they'd muck that up too.

Not if I was the one who had to be satisfied. And remain so. :-)

#13 Add 'Kane' to that little list, B.

Western Lake County isn't too bad, though.

#14 Just issue muni junk bonds. If you go bankrupt, liquidate assets, downgrade from state to territory and remove all elected officials and replace with martial law.

There, that wasnt so hard, was it?
