If a state goes bankrupt, it should revert to territorial status, and have its entire elected state government arrested for misfeasance and malfeasance.
Their property should be confiscated, and the remainder of the debt should be paid by the residents of the state in a ‘bail in.’

The Governor is not responsible for this disaster, why should he be punished?

I like the first idea about the state reverting to a territory. While the rest sounds good on the surface it blames it all on the current pols when in fact decades of bad management is to blame.

In IL is a republican really any different than a dem? I ask because the majority lives in Chicago, an extreme left city population, so what are the chances of a real republican getting elected? They would have to be so moderate that to us they would appear leftist.
