Is this the dilapidated Thompson Center?
“””...this is a state government that has been broken for decades. It is designed to reject improvement in every form, at every level.”””
The very definition of a bureaucracy.
WOW....who would have thought such a wonderful state would be so screwed up...I mean DemoRats have run the place for 100 years or more.....WTF and who cares!!!
Sounds just like NYS, right down to the fleeing taxpayers...
btt
Just about everyone from toll collectors, DMV clerks, game wardens, etc to all the bureaucratic nobody make work positions infesting every state agency are patronage hires. Everyone has what is colloquially known as a “Chinaman”, a political insider who ensures employment of friends and relatives no matter the competence or qualifications.How do you clean the Aegean stables?
Illinois joins Venezuela, North Korea, and Puerto Rico in eating the rotten fruit of socialism.
<>I started by asking human resources for job descriptions and performance reviews for all staffers under my supervision, but was told none existed.<>
OBAMA STRONG!
Citing a non-existent “one man one vote” principle, eight Warren Court black-robes ruled that state legislative districts must be of approximately equal populations. Through a rogue interpretation of the 14th Amendment’s equal protection clause, these masterminds imposed a democratic republic form of government on all fifty states! Never mind the constitution simply guarantees a republican form of government, scotus illegally overruled centuries of wisdom and imposed social justice democracy instead.
Illinois Senator Dirksen warned that Chicago would come to dominate Springfield. He was right, and due to Reynolds, Illinois is near bankruptcy and losing population as people flee high taxes, higher unemployment, and societal destruction.
Sadly I’ll bet that most of the employees are Obama’s sons and daughters.
And, like Puerto Rico, Illinois will be looking for a Federal bailout and will receive one. The bigger the failure and cronyism, the bigger the bailout. It is coming.
I had an apartment right next to the Thomson Center for about 8 months. I had no idea it was a government center — I just knew it had a food court in the lower level.

Fixing this mess is not possible. The state employees will defend their nest like bees guarding their honey. All "foreign" intruders will be stung and repelled.
Keep voting for the same @$$hat$ and see if things get better .
Never mind ,, that’s what you’re doing .
I completely believe this. My sister works for a state government; she has a strong work ethic. However, she knows people who will show up in the morning, turn on their computer, then leave for hours. They are apparently “in the bathroom” LOL!
Illinois is a corrupt, one party, Democrat Party state.
What the author calls dysfunction is just standard operating procedure for the Democrat Party.
Collectivism. When people are shielded from natural selection.
Sounds just like Kalifornia
Great post!
