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.
