With the state's enormous pension debt and $9 billion budget deficit, getting Illinois' finances back on track will be hard for everyone.
Dear Illinois taxpayers,
Brace yourselves. The recent reports of Illinois’ fiscal issues might not have been exaggerated after all.

In a new report, the Illinois Policy Institute says they have even more proof Illinois’ finances are in trouble. The report outlines what the authors see as issues with union spending, bureaucracy and influence. Read it at Reboot Illinois to find out how much Illinois’ biggest unions have spent on political contributions in the last 13 years.
