Found this comment over at Hot Air on the blog about Chris Christie and the coming collapse of the states:

If you wonder how a state with so much tax revenue can be bankrupt, as the State of Illinois is, then simply consider this.

Laura Murray, the recently retired Superintendent of Homewood-Flossmoor High School (my district) is being paid $19,907 per month to lounge by her pool in Barbados, or wherever. This number will go up every single year of her life, unless Illinois declares bankruptcy (please!) and defaults on these idiotic agreements and forces a restructuring.

There are over 3,600 retirees from Illinois education and government who will receive over $100,000 per year in retirement. Such a pension does not exist outside of government.

That is so revolting, so disgusting....fairness, where's the fairness in THAT???

I guess the question for the people of IL is: are they going to put up with this?? Maybe so...
