When do we get a break?

As I read the paper June 15, I saw that over 15,000 state union employees sued to get guaranteed raises based on old contractual language that will cost John and Jane Doe over $415 million. This is on top of the $100 billion of unfunded retirement plans, guaranteed health, etc. I have one question, when did Illinois become a fiefdom where the public servants are the feudal lords and we have become the servants? This you can be sure of, in the next decade, Illinois will lose their tax base as people continue to flee Madigastan.
