Can anyone imagine a more dysfunctional State than Illinois? Holy moly! Hot on the heels of the Blago scandal, our State is pretty much bankrupt, the Illinois supreme court had to determine if the former White House Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanual, meets the Chicago residency requirements to run for Mayor. First he won a hearing to be placed on the ballot, then he lost the Appelate Court appeal and he was off the ballot, now the Supreme Court ruled him eligible, so back on he goes! Today's headline: the $31Billion Capital Bill was ruled unconstitutional by another Appelate Court, so the State cannot move forward with this construction season's road projects! This case will also end up in the Il Supreme Court, and if they don't overturn the lower court, our wonderful legislators will have to re-write and pass a new Capital Bill. That should be loads of fun, especially on right after they increased our State income tax by 67 percent... I may not have mentioned that one... Listening to the radio and the Governor of New Jersey is making fun of Illinois, inviting people and businesses to move to his State. Really? New Jersey? God thing the weather is so nice here to make up for all the baloney - right... A couple of more inches of snow today to cover up the sheet of ice that is my driveway. Oh well... Thank God for Beer and Pizza!
