Illinois has been Mismanaging and or looting its pension system for years and years. Asking the rest of America to bail Illinois out because of the virus is disengenuous at best. And highly opportunistic

That statement is a non-argumentative no-shitter. They looted their accounts, now they want to loot the US citizens bank accounts. Sorry open a lemonade stand.
