Illinois has been screwed up for a long time. Neither party gets a freebie on this. Corruption, job loss, Chicago games and on and on. From Ryan to Blagoevich and now on to Rauner. It goes back farther than these three.
The highways are a mess yet they spend millions to blacktop roads every year. The overpasses are covered with graffiti, weeds are all over the highways along 270. IDOT is a joke and should be stripped down and reorganized. Contracts are probably handed out to someone's family.
Unless things change Illinois is going to continue to dwindle. I give Rauner credit for taking on the budget but it has to be done sensibly. Madigan is a joke and rationale for term limits.
