Don't pretend this has anything to do with fiscal responsibility--because we all know that the likes of you never cared about that to begin with.

This has to do with wanting to pay off your public employee unions who fucked us all over, and now plan to run with their money to Arizona.

Let me see: do I give $10M to Arizona, or $10M to the Chicago Riverwalk? Hmmm.... that's a tough one
There really should be a provision in the state constitution about this. If you live in state, you get your full pension, tax free. If you move out of state, there should be a portion that is withheld.

I'm sure even proposing this would be an immediate non starter in Springfield, sadly.
