It isn’t the pensions, it’s the high cost of ammo.

“Illinois need revenue for their failing public pensions. “

they need TAX revenue and it’s well documented that minimum wage hikes reduce employment (hence payroll taxes) ... not to mention this is going to drive even more businesses out of Illinois into Indiana, exacerbating the tax revenue problem even more ...
