Illinois has the largest state budget deficit in the nation at $3 billion, according to analysis conducted by the Rockford Register Star. Illinois has liabilities -- about $51 billion -- exceeding assets by $17 billion, the depressing report states; Illinois has the highest pension liabilities of any state in the nation at about $35 billion; and Illinois hospitals, pharmacies and nursing homes are waiting up to six months for Medicaid reimbursements. But the good news (for some) in the cash-strapped state is that Governor Rod Blagojevich found another $1 million to sprinkle on asbestos lawyer John Simmons' baseball dream in Marion. Blagojevich made the announcement on Wednesday while visiting the field where an independent minor league expansion team is expected to play next year.
