The reason I'm wondering is that IL is ranked at least 4th and 1st worst state in the nation for bad finances. CA takes 1st and 10th worst depending on the analyst and metric that is used. Since CA has cosigned the debts of some of its junk rated counties and cities and normally operates on the edge of technical insolvency I have trouble figuring out how it managed to be ranked as only the 10th worst state financially and absolute worst state by the same analyst in the same set of maps of the 50 states. I thought this question would lead to a relatively civil food fight and that's why I posted this thread.
