Report author: Illinois has 'unique' debt problem

(The Center Square) – According to a new report, Illinois is one of five states with more than $30,000 in debt per capita. Mariana Trujillo, managing director of government finance at Reason Foundation, said state, county and local governments and school districts are accumulating a lot of unfunded obligations. “So this means there's a share of your taxes that are currently and will continue to go to paying for services and goods that were already enjoyed and services already rendered,” Trujillo told The Center Square. Trujillo co-authored the State and Local Government Finance Report that found Illinois has by far the highest state and local pension debt in the United States. “It's convenient for politicians to give benefit increases that they don't have to pay for and push their problem into the future, but the problem in Illinois is unique and its scale stands out. It's almost unheard of,” Trujillo said. With $31,582 in overall per capita debt, Illinois trailed only New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. Trujillo said the debt is not evenly distributed, with Chicago residents facing almost $50,000 in per capita debt. A different Reason Foundation report released in August said Illinois’ debt ratio of 276% was

Your Kids Can Milk A Real Jersey Cow At This Free 1930s Farm In Illinois

A Jersey cow here lets kids try milking her by hand, and the farm doesn’t even charge admission. That alone made me sit up and pay attention. The whole place runs like a 1930s working farm in northern Illinois. Goats, donkeys, sheep, chickens, and huge Belgian draft horses all live here, and wandering the farmyard costs nothing.

Save Our Bacon Act is a threat to agricultural freedom | Letter

At Hazzard Free Farm, I don't grow just one commodity — I steward diversity. I grow heirloom corn, wheat, oats, rye, barley, clover and biodiversity. I treat my animals with care, I incorporate them into the landscape and I work to build a food system that reflects what our community needs. I capture nutrients and build soil, I catch water and create habitat. I create life in abundance. This relationship with land only works when states and local communities can set the standards that reflect their values. The Save Our Bacon Act threatens that entire model. It's federal overreach dressed up as agricultural freedom. In reality, it strips states of the power to set agricultural standards and hands that power to the federal government — which has been captured by global industrial operations. Illinois voters and communities will decide what agricultural reality we want in our state. That's not a radical idea; it's called democracy. The power of each state to create its own reality is the most powerful tool we have. U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin is a key voice in Senate negotiations on the Farm Bill. I urge Senator Durbin to make a public commitment right now: keep the
