Illinois is in deep fiscal trouble
Crony government pension plans are killing the state.
(From Wirepoints.org)
For the state, about 25% of revenue now goes towards pensions and other debt, but that would jump to over 50% if proper amounts were being paid. For Chicago, about 34% of revenue is already being consumed by those payments but doing it right would take over 60%.
