Other states legalize (and tax) marijuana, cut spending drastically and have all the revenue they need. Illinois continues the wasteful war on drugs and then cries "we don't have enough money to pay for all the police, prosecutors, courts, and jail guards we need".

Illinois isn't nearly broke enough yet. Sadly we're nowhere close to hitting rock bottom, which is what it will take for this state to break its addiction to spending.
