News flash: Chicago is utterly incapable of managing its own finances. That’s why the rest of the state gets pummeled with higher property taxes (the city dwellers pay a third of what the rest of the state pays), and water is more expensive outside of Cook County.
The state props that city up. It wouldn’t surprise me if this turned out to be true.
