The people of Illinois thought they were done with this. They elected a Republican governor who is a businessman . Any of this starting to sound familiar? He pledged to fix the broken finances. Guess what, the two Democrats, Michael Madigan who runs the House, and John Cullerton, running the senate, have blocked ever effort to cut the budget. If they aren’t stopping change, a judge somewhere appointed by a democrat is. And, the ever-present media is attacking every effort to cut costs with a parade of crying stooges.
In the end, the ultimate answer is term limits. You can’t have leaders who represent a small percentage of the population destroy an entity.
