It appears the Illinois Supreme Court has all but guaranteed Chicago’s bankruptcy.

At this point, its a virtual certainty. Federal bankruptcy court can make those city union stooges wish they had let things go.

I'm thinking the lowest bond classification is "in default", ie the bond issuers are no longer paying the interest due.

Richard M. Daley has really screwed this city for generations to come. And you know what? They’ll probably name several buildings, parks and streets after him when he dies.
