Illinois is in such horrible financial shape that they might have to end fun state lottery games!
The governor of Illinois has said that the state is entering “banana republic” territory. Not even the state lottery is safe!
Illinois is grappling with a full-fledged financial crisis and not even the lottery is safe – with Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner warning the state is entering “banana republic” territory.
Facing billions in unpaid bills and pension obligations, the state is hitting a cash crunch that is rare even by Illinois standards.
A top financial official just warned 100 percent of the state’s monthly revenue will be eaten up by court-ordered payments. Rauner is calling a special session of the Democrat-led General Assembly in a bid to pass what he hopes will be the first full budget package in almost three years.
And Illinois will – literally – lose the lottery if the budget fails.
The state lotto requires a payment from the legislature each year. The current appropriation expires June 30, meaning no authority to pay prizes. In anticipation of a budget deadlock, the state already is planning to halt Powerball and Mega Millions sales.
“It is disappointing that the legislature’s inability to pass a budget has led to this development and will result in Illinois lottery players being denied the opportunity to play these popular games,” Illinois Lottery Acting Director Greg Smith told Fox News.
Yes, it would be a great tragedy if people were no longer able to play popular lottery games! Worst thing ever!
Basically what’s happened here is that the courts have mandated that the state government pay for pensions with money that they don’t have. This is the end result of Marxist policies that have dominated Illinois politics for several decades. They’ve refused to deal with these problems head on and it has now become a full blown crisis.
Barring a bailout from Congress or a massive financial restructuring, it is possible that Illinois would have to file for bankruptcy. Even though this is not allowed under current law, they might have to change the law in order to file.
Maybe when people find out that they can’t buy any more lottery tickets they’ll riot and demand real changes. Don’t laugh, because that could actually happen. Millions of idiots gamble on this type of crap every single day.
The more likely scenario is that we’ll see a bunch of very pissed off pensioners. One can only imagine what they’ll do when they find out that the state can’t pay what they were promised.
What a mess. America is looking more and more like a third world country every single day.
