016 state of illinois - editorialpinups

So first the State of Illinois does a 67% increase in state income tax to supposedly pay their bills.  Then they don't pay their bills.  Underfunded pension funds, stiffing school districts and municipalities.  Welching on medicare reimbursements to doctors, pharmacies, day care centers, preschools, suppliers,... you name it.  Then Governor Quinn (who was much more fun as a LT. Governor where he couldn't hurt things) wants spend money that the state does not have for the old commitments on new commitments.  They do not let me do this to them let alone I should let them do it to me!
