We have only ourselves to blame for the predicament our state is in. Whether it's Pritzker or some other Democratic/Republican stroke we elect, Madigan still has a vice grip on the purse strings. They've gerrymandered the election. They have no budget. Net loss of 90,000 people in the state last year alone. Huge tax increase for the suckers stuck here. $180,000,000,000 (Man that's a lot of zeros) in unfunded pension/debt. Chicago school system with zero credibility.

Wait, the Chicago school system has been compared, favorably, to Baltimore’s.

A friend of mine had rental properties in Manchester England. He found after renting to a Pakistan family that they had moved in several other families and removed the toilets. Back home they only had a hole to do their business and wanted all the comforts of home. True story....

I am surprised that it rarely gets mentioned that the basis for the Pritzker fortune was investing the Mafia’s cash in legitimate businesses.
