In spite of DECADES of Democratic rule of the Illinois Legislature, the easily seen “cause and effect” appears to elude the voters. One party rule by the ‘D’s results in rewarding THEIR VOTER BASE with budget-busting contracts. Floating bonds to make future taxpayers pay these rewards = free money then.
Now these payments have come home to roost and that means taxes must be raised. What a surprise! There is a fix though, expel Cook County/Chicago and make it pay for its own sins! Then listen to its screams!

Sounds good to me. Many of us who live outside of Chicago and Cook County would love to see Chicago/Cook excised from the state.
