The blame for this lies with Mike Madigan and his corrupt Democrat machine.

Madigan is Rich Daley’s state-level co-conspirator, and was the chief sponsor of Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama.

Madigan will never be held accountable, because his daughter is the Attorney General of Illinois.

6.8 billion dollars in unpaid bills? Maybe they can get a home equity loan and consolidate all their debt. That, or they could sell their jewelry.

Ah Yes and this is exactly the formula that Obama has brought from IL to the national stage.

I’m at a loss to understand how any state gets a worse rating than my California. I’m insulted... /s

Our legislature will read this, sigh, and ask each other what they have to do to get last place back. They’ve worked so hard to achieve what they have.

If there’s actually a state in worse mess than California, I send them my deepest sympathy.

One would hope that unlike California, at least 60% of their population could understand English.

If I was a restaurant owner in Illinois, I’d watch out. Those Democrats will come in and order seven billion dollars worth of champagne, caviar and lobster and then whoosh, they’re out the exit without paying the bill headed to Indiana just as fast as they can get that Chevy Volt to go.

HEY ILLINOIS DEMS, how’s that 67% Income tax increase workin’ out for ya?
Indiana thanks you for the jobs.

Illinois can’t pay it’s bills now, but they somehow “FOUND’ another $3 Million to give Rockford today, for a new Choo-Choo station, that they are going to pay Amtrak $60 million to run a train through...

You know we live in eff’d up times when the effective, prudent Gov. Walker faces a mean recall while the bumbling, incompetent Gov. Quinn gets a free pass to flux up ILL-n-annoyed even more.

That does it Graybeard58, I’m never talking to you again! ;^)

We need to collaborate on a book titled, “Circling the Drain for Fun and Profit”.

Not as long as there be property in Illinois for Greedy Democrats to steal.

If you ask me this is just more evidence to the fact that few if any democrats deserve to be employed given the way they vote to treat other people’s opportunities to be employed.

Not even close yet, although it should be at this point.
