Organization opposes federal bailout for Illinois – Center Square

"Wirepoints recently estimated that 44 states are sunning surpluses for fiscal years 2020 and 2021 when COVID-19 relief and budget reserves are included. The six outliers: Illinois, New York, Maryland, New Jersey, Hawaii and Nevada have pre-existing spending problems or rely heavily on tourism."

Well Governor instead of blaming the citizens that didn’t pass your tax hike perhaps you should consider that these citizens are tired of all the runaway spending.

Over $200 million of that debt is unfunded pensions and retiree healthcare benefits, I think they made a boo boo shouldn’t it be 200 billion plus??? That would be a blessing if it was 200 million.
