Editorial: No ‘rescue’ for Illinois in federal relief package, and that’s a good thing – Chicago Tribune*

"As we’ve said many times, taxpayers across the country and particularly in well-run states should not have to bail out Illinois and its alarming underfunded pensions, as Senate President Don Harmon foolishly requested early in the pandemic."

Illinois and Chicago don’t need any “rescue” from their self created financial mess. Citizens and taxpayers in financially competent states owe nothing to the corrupt politicians and their gredy public sector union masters in Illinois, Chicago and Cook County.

Fantastic news for the rest of America. The corrupt Illinois Democrats need to look at real solutions but will instead raise taxes to bail out their Public Sector Union overlords. The citizens and taspayers can go pound sand.

Sadly but not surprisingly, the Tribune doesn’t lay blame where it rightly belongs – Nancy Pelosi and the Democrat ‘leadership’.
