Rich Miller: Many Illinois counties don’t have the resources to meet demands of SAFE-T Act – Chicago Sun-Times

"Fifty counties have fewer than 25,000 residents. Another 31 have fewer than 15,000, 15 have fewer than 10,000, and seven don’t even have 5,000 residents....We’ve long seen advocates calling for school district consolidation and township elimination. But the SAFE-T Act’s implementation last week highlights how the state should probably start a conversation about how dozens of small counties can effectively govern in a modern society."

Pritzker’s parroting mouthpiece slithers out from under JB’s fat folds to spew the Democrat press release. Disgusting way to make a living but reptiles like warm damp places. Plus there’s plenty of Dorito and pork rind crumbs for dinner.

Fat Turd Miller was all for the Crime Purge Law up until now — hope one of the crime thugs he likes so much clubs him over the head and steals the rascal scooter he uses to haul his lard butt around

LOL Rich says small counties that have difficulties implementing unfunded state mandates aren’t part of modern society. What a piece of garbage.

Consolidate all counties south of Bloomington. Call it Welfare County and save the state a ton of money. Could even develop a county flag with a block of gubmint cheese on it. Maybe carve out the St. Louis area. They contribute to the state unlike the other low rent hillbilly areas.

Small Illinois hillbilly counties died years ago they just don’t know it. Time to put the worthless dead weight to rest. Whit was buried in 1996. Too bad Goober county didn’t leave this world with him.

Mark Glennon on AM560’s Morning Answer: Chicago pension buyout plan mostly shifts debt rather than eliminating it, property tax surge doubles inflation over three decades

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.
