How is Illinois not in the top 5 iG possibilities? The state is very fiscally challenged, Fed stimmy money is gone, the 2025 budget deficit is conveniently the size of an iG legalization revenue raise ($500M+), JB cranked up OSB rates last year in the 11th hour to balance the budget (and is touting his fiscally prudent bona fides for a possibly bigger political role) and tax payers are revolting against any and all proposed tax increases. iG is the last large, stealth revenue raise available. Thoughts?

It's in the Top 10 (which isnt saying much tbh), but VGTs are an impenetrable force field at the moment.
