Lincoln Papers funding threatened

[RJNorton]

As a retired teacher from Illinois not a month goes by in which I do not receive messages from old teaching friends about the deplorable financial condition Illinois is in. Many retired teachers fear their pensions are in jeopardy, although I hope this is not true. Vicki and I are in big trouble if it's true as she is also a retired teacher. We live on our pensions. I have read that Illinois is in the worst fiscal shape of any state in the USA.
