I’ve heard that Chicago has some bizarre financial policies.
For example, they leased out city parking meters to a private firm, for a 75 year lease. The city was advanced expected revenues from the parking meters up front, while the company collects parking meter money for the next 75 years.
I also heard that Chicago spent the 75 year lump sum of parking revenue in 3 years. So they clearly need help with money management.
Weren’t two prominent Chicagoans named Ezekiel involved in producing Obamacare? I can’t even work up the sympathy to break out my tiny violin.

So, bite it, Chicago. Couldn’t happen to a better place.
Unfortunately, down state tax payers will end up covering Chicago’s short fall.
What idiot would make any "deal" with the Obama administration?
Guns kill and injure a very large number people in Chicago. They could send the injured to VA hospitals. This would save many millions of dollars.
No worries. The State can just redistribute some more.
Isn’t the Federal Government picking up most of the tab initially for the medicaid expansion ? Wasn’t that a selling point to the states ? The reason a lot of the repub governors didn’t expand medicaid.
