It would require a complete overhaul of the entire pension system in Illinois--especially Cook County, where Chicago is located!--to bring Illinois out of a possible financial disaster.
Illinois is a state with a potentially strong agricultural sector and very strong transportation sector, thanks to Chicago being the biggest rail transportation hub in the USA. An overhaul of the pension system, a simplified Illinois state income tax, and more business-friendly regulations could revive the state very quickly.

It's not going to happen. Nobody is going to turn that place around until the cesspool in the northeastern corner of the state is cleaned out ... that will not happen until someone defeats the unions, crony capital and corrupt democrat machines ... and that's not going to take place in our lifetime!
