Illinois Powerball is FINI tonight at 9:00 PM. www.redstatewatcher.com Breaking: Illinois gets DUMPED by Major organization for budget insolvency

Illinois wasn't going to payout any big prizes until the State had a
budget, anyway. This has been going on for a couple of years. The only
difference now is that defered/no-payout powerball tickets will no
longer be sold in Illinois.


...Illinois is BROKE! Meanwhile, around here a new factory (Continenal, German home based tire company) is being built, new outlet stores soon opening, city streets around here, potholes will destroy your car!

Aside from the government, Illinois is doing OK. New stores and homes
are being built and things are still picking up from 10 years ago. The
weather has been nice, sort of an extended springtime.

Bankruptcy might not be such a bad deal. Right now, the pensioners and
the bondholders and the fat cat payrollers want to get through this
crisis without feeling any pain and throw the whole burden on everyone
else in the State.
