Philly public schools is having a horrible problem with old school buildings with asbestos. Many state and local legislators are tweeting that they will fight for safe schools for the kids. I have tweeted them and asked them where do they think the money is going to come from to fix the schools? The state of Pa. has $20 billion cash and $80 billion debts and unfunded pensions. I haven’t gotten an answer.

This guy continually ignores the magnitude of the unfunded liabilities problem by doing things like this to emphasize that IL taxpayers are the most abused in the nation.
