It was reported earlier that Guber Prickster didn’t include any funds for a union settlement in the recently passed and VERY phony “balanced budget” for Ill-Annoy.

This is why the previous smarter generations of Americans wouldn’t allow government employees to belong to corrupt unions. It was called shooting yourself in the foot if you did.

A little-known Scotus ruling from 1964, Reynolds v. Sims is why some states, like IL, MI, PA, NY, CA are in the clutches of government labor unions, bleeding money and driving talented citizens away.

If Your State is a Mess.

Government employees should not be unionized. Too much potential for mischief.

Political trends:

Illinois is a Democratic stronghold and one of the “big three” Democratic states alongside California and New York. It is considered one of the most Democratic states in the nation and following the 2018 elections, all six statewide elected offices are held by a Democrat.

Democrats have fared better in every presidential election since 1980. Bill Clinton, Al Gore, John Kerry, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton all carried the state by double-digit margins.

57.5% Biden to 40.6%
Trump in 2020.

Consequences include higher taxes and less freedom. Enjoy.
