Yea.. Illinois is in bad shape. My father-in-law retired from Western Illinois University a little earlier than he had initially planned so that it would be before his union contract expired.
That was over a year ago - the folks left are still working without a contract. That doesn't necessarily mean they won't get any pension if they retired today, but it puts it at even more risk than it already was.
At this stage, there is literally no way to even pay back the pension (it'd be $20k per person in the state, if we needed to pay it back today).
