Oh people you have to flood this site. Here's my suggestion. Cut all pay for Governor on down, in half. All of them in Springfield cannot justify the salary they are picking out of the people's pockets. Now that is what one would call "Leadership". You politicians need to show it by standing up, and being accountable. Don't ask us, the people for a sacrifice, when you are way too cowardly to start with yourself.

You politicians have been in our pockets for decades, and have shown the people of Illinois nothing but lost jobs, a pitiful education system, a ridiculous tax system that makes the poor, poorer, and last but not least, a "Lottery Con" that is supposed to go in the "General Education Fund". WTF? Look at our "Public Transportation System" for example. It has "Advertising" plastered not only outside, but inside our buses, and trains. What are they doing with that money? Here's a good guess. Raising fares, laying off workers, and cutting service. Where's the money going?

So people of Illinois, I say flood the site, and demand they, the politicians, of all city, village, county, and state office holders take a very nice pay-cut. They don't deserve the money we are paying them, for the simple fact they have not delivered the goods. My tax dollars should go for fully staffed police departments, outstanding hospitals, quality teachers, and a superior education system.

Not video poker, or a casino.
