[quote:Anonymous Coward 40647029:MV8zNTU2NjYxXzYzNTQ0NDIwXzg0OENGQUE4] It is nothing but mafia. The governors go to jail. Other states don't even accept their driver's licenses they are so crooked. The people all vote democrat because that is how their parents voted. The cops are crooked. The teachers are all union and you cannot fire the bad ones. Some are even violent to the kids and get to keep their jobs because of the unions. Some coaches make over 100,000 per year as do some of the special education administrators. The union creates overpaid lazy employees. The people are rude and don't even know they are rude. They are a sanctuary city for thugs. They have dog fights right next to day care. They raise pit bulls to fight. They deal drugs and move out to the suburbs and rent apartments so other drug dealers don't steal their drugs. It is a cess pool. A complete and utter loss of humanity. Let it implode. Make them stay there. Don't let them export their sewer sludge to other states. What they lead in IQ points they make up for in their lying, cheating, thieving, low-life ways. May they all crash and burn. [/quote]

OFFICIAL WARNS ILLINOIS FINANCES IN 'MASSIVE CRISIS MODE'
CHICAGO (AP) -- The Illinois official responsible for paying the state's bills is warning that new court orders mean her office must pay out more each month than Illinois receives in revenue.
Comptroller Susana Mendoza must prioritize what gets paid as Illinois nears its third year without a state budget.
A mix of state law, court orders and pressure from credit rating agencies requires some items be paid first. Those include debt and pension payments, state worker paychecks and some school funding.
Mendoza says a recent court order regarding money owed for Medicaid bills means mandated payments will eat up 100 percent of Illinois' monthly revenue.
