Yea, well Illinois residents are paying for it, whether it came out of last year's taxes or this year's taxes or five years ago taxes. If it came out of a general fund, well that is money that isnt gonna be used on some other more beneficial things, if it was covered by deficit spending (like a bond already issued) that money is wasted + interest. The state's irresponsible behavior is what made them waste the money. And the fact that the government has to set up a general fund for stuff like this means they charge more in taxes to establish a general fund.

And don't forget, the end costs for this include the time the state's lawyers spent in court. And the court's time. Etc.

I think, in the end, what really matters is none of us live in such a shitty state.

For that we should all be greatful.

Pst. Similar laws have been attempted/passed in California, as well. Illinois is not alone here.

Illinois still sucks imo.

IL > CA

Chicago > Any city on the west coast

Wrong.

San Diego is the best city in the world; not to mention California has warmer beaches, better weather and the Governator.

San Diego sucks ass.

Wrong.

I'm so glad I got the fuck out of Illinois. What a garbage state.

No.

They had this coming when they filed such an absurd lawsuit. Let this be a lesson to any other dumbfuck politicians considering a similar course of action.

If a retail chain wishes to deny violent VG sales to minors without government enforcement, fine. The governments don't need to barge in on the issue though.

IINM, California's attempt at such a law was quashed.
