Illinois Politicians Are Doubling Down on Failure

When I did a poll earlier this year, asking which state would be the first to suffer a fiscal crisis, I wasn't terribly surprised that Illinois wound up in first place.

Based on what's happening in the Land of Lincoln, it appears that state politicians want to receive a supermajority of votes. There's pressure for ever-higher taxes to finance an ever-more-bloated bureaucracy.

And taxpayers are voting with their feet.
