Fat chance, with Dems batting 1,000.

The $36 billion spending package voted on Thursday by Illinois legislators is less than what the state is estimated to have spent in the last fiscal year when there was no budget, but more than the average over the last decade.

Comment: If you thought the budget debate was over, you didn’t know about the booby-trap on school funding Madigan stuck in. And much worse will come.

Or much of anything else.

Cmment: “We saved the state,” said Culerton regarding the budget and tax increase the Senate voted for. Ahahahahahah.

“It took a while, but we eventually succeeded in obtaining the alleged letter from the Higher Learning Commission being touted as the death to Illinois universities. People always “quoted” it, but could never produce it, now we know why.”

Politicians and credit raters form a coalition for tax and spend.
