Kent Redfield, Political Science Professor for the University of Illinois was a guest on the Newstalk WTIM Morning Show Monday morning. Redfield talked about the strange state that Illinois politics as well as national politics is in. Redfield said how the Illinois budget impasse is unprecedented in United States State politics.

Redfield talked about how the way the state has been functioning is not sustainable, and how the only way to be able to do what the state is doing is to run the credit card.

Redfield mentioned how there are certain things that keep getting paid under court order; however the problem is that it gets harder and harder to make payments due to cash flow issues.
