Washington 2016 Political RP [CLOSED] OOC Pt. IV

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

I guess it is time for us to start pouring over budget papers of Illinois.

On it.

Shit... Illinois is a complete clusterfuck of a situation.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Jackson has to cut pensions.

[United City States of Oceania]

Wow, just figured out that Jackson's plan would be more than enough to put IL in surplus...

[Apror]

So I'm guessing we do the literal meeting tomorrow. What is the time per day in the IC?

[United City States of Oceania]

Jackson has to cut pensions.

Not possible without an amendment to the IL constitution.

Where does the Progressive party have the most power?

[Chewion]

Not possible without an amendment to the IL constitution.

Where does the Progressive party have the most power?

California

[United City States of Oceania]

California

I actually originally planned for Jackson to be from California, but the job of governor was taken.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Here is a list of problems

>4.5 billion dollars debt in accounts payable
-Relatively big unemployment rate
-Schools are out of money
-Cannot increase taxes or people exodus out of the state
-PENSIONS IN COMPLETE CRISIS(100 billion dollar shortfall by 2045)
-Unions will fight any pension reform
-Half of pensions covered
-Police brutality
-You have gone a year and a half without a full budget

Yeah so Jackson has 2 options
-REALLY unpopular measures that would pull Illinois out of the hold that it is in
-Continue on current course

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Unemployment rate in Ill. is officially worse than that of Mississippi's.

Actually, I don't think that this happened in the RP.
The reason it happened IRL is because IL had a Republican governor.
In this RP, they don't.

I'm sure people wouldn't be against raising taxes on the wealthy.

The problem is the wealthy just get up and leave Illinois.

Maybe it's time for a charming Republican to help.

Then put in place tighter residency laws...

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

Also very bad news Ill. pension interest has become 9.1 bil. a year.

Well there you go......

[United City States of Oceania]

I think Illinois is on the road to default.

Oh my God, how hard did you fuck poor IL......

I do not think that is possible.

He did not, this is just the same as regular Ill.

[Apror]

I do not think that is possible.

Try attracting jobs to IL?

On, well fuck you IL.

[Democratic Peoples republic of Kelvinsi]

I do not think that is possible.

That would require money, something Ill. does not have.

Ooh...
I gots a plan...
Raise the income tax rate to 20% for anyone that earns over 1 million...
And make it so that you must live outside of Illinois for 2 years before you are no longer a citizen!

[Apror]

That would require money, something Ill. does not have.

How about lowering taxes?
