They'll get an emergency bailout and kick the can down the road for another year...Nothing to see here.

Oh great, now you have high income taxes, highest property taxes in the nation and absolutely nothing to curtail pensions. If Trump passes his plan and the high state and property taxes are not deductible, me thinks me buy me some WI and IN border investment proeprties. There will be a flood that will leave this wretched state.

Yes, a flood of people leaving the miserable state who have to pay all the taxes. What about the swamp of losers who need more money? Hello more taxes.

Interesting to see how the legislature had to override the governor on this one.

The Illinois economy, if it wasn't bad already, is about to get a lot worse. This is how Democrats hollow out the economy of a state.

Democrats offer valuable and generous entitlements like lifetime pensions which are extremely expensive, then increase taxes to pay for it all, which increases the individual tax burden, which in turn causes people and companies to flee, which makes the overall economy (pie) smaller, which in turn makes the original problem even worse.

Democrats keep diving pie so thinly that no one gets any pie. Fine example of liberal economic policies.
