Harvey is in the south suburbs of Chicago.
Pension liabilities are like a house of cards. Collapse is going to happen in many places. It’s just a matter of time without drastic changes happening.
Illinois Politicians (primarily DEMOCRATS when they controlled the Governor's office and Illinois Legislature) wrote into this State's Constitution that once Pension Guarantees are made, they CANNOT be diminished in any way, period.
There have been faux attempts over the years, primarily to placate voters, to "change" the public pension system here in Illinois, via various laws that have been passed by the Illinois State Legislature and been signed by one or more Governors, primarily Republicans.
These laws are promptly challenged by the public sector unions here in Illinois and then overturned by the Illinois Supreme Court which cites the Illinois Constitution as being the reason why.
Now, it doesn't help matters that the Illinois Supreme Court is dominated primarily by (you guessed it ...) Chicago Democrat Judges.
This has been the ruse for years now: The legislature passes a law that they know a Governor will sign and the Illinois Supreme Court will throw out as citing "against the state's constitution." The lawmakers can say they tried, the public sector unions (in on the ruse....) are happy and the mostly ignorant voting public in this state just frets some more and begs the politicians to "do something" without it actually getting through their thick, dumb skulls that the reason this will never change is because they keep re-electing the politicians that created and propagate the problem!!!
The ONLY way this changes is if people throw out these scumballs in the State Legislature (never happen...) and elect people who will fix the State Constitution OR the State goes bankrupt.
The most likely scenario: Illinois goes bankrupt. People here are too f*****g stupid to throw out the idiots in the State Legislature, Illinois House Speaker MIKE MADIGAN being the worst of them.
