Because we were taxed enough to avoid them. We didn’t fuck up that way. Most, if not all, state employees belong to unions (mostly MAPE and AFSCME) and we’re not collapsing under the cost of keeping a stable workforce.

More because Minnesota didn’t agree to pension schemes that could never be afforded in the long term and that state has kept its pensions funded, which Illinois failed to do (a fault that is on both parties here).
