I read that yesterday. The article describes the problems but not why the politicians were stalling, i.e. on what issues they disagree and why. I suppose I'd like details. Illinois has a billionaire governor but a democrat controlled legislature, so is the main problem a power struggle? Usually there are underlying issues.

I do not live in the state but am appalled by the condition this once prosperous state is now in. An omen for the rest of the country? Hope not.

Thanks again!
