Good commentary and I concur. Illinois is a mess. There’s so much taxpayer gold spread around. I don’t see a fix.
Fiscal reality will ultimately resolve this mess. When IL can no longer borrow because it defaulted on it's Bonds and the govt. employee pensions go broke change will come. It won't be pretty and will probably take a generation, but it will get fixed.
For me, I'm working towards the day my business interests won't be here so I'm not crushed when the Rats try to fix everything by destroying me.
