Illinois’ pension crisis is the nation’s worst. Illinois has a less than 40% funding ratio for its pension plans while the nation’s average is over 70% as of 2018. Pension debt estimates reached $317 billion in 2020 and the state pension systems consumed over 25% of all state revenues.Sep 10, 2021

There is a LOT of COVID money being spread around illinois. Pritzker is doing the same thing at the state level and calling it fiscal responsibility in his re-election campaign ads.
