Visualize Illinois' problems this way

Two cartoons to consider for the Opinion page:

1. Have a finish line with a banner that reads "Bankruptcy".

Have three figures:

A. Detroit

B. Chicago

C. Illinois

The caption underneath reads, "Wait for me."

2. Have a piñata marked "Tax Payer"

Have one man with a stick and blindfold. Then have a group of men under the piñata looking up in anticipation.

The caption reads - Tax Day April 15th
