There are approximately 7000 units of government in the financially crippled state of Illinois.
Many are redundant.
And expensive.
And in the case of the DuPage Water Commission---just one awful example among many---the people running it have proven they don't know what they're doing.
And so converted a pile of cash reserves into a sea of red ink.
Can Illinois afford this any longer?
