A report by the credit rating agency Moody’s says Illinois will set a new record this year when it reports a total net pension liability of more than $300 billion the highest of any state in the nation.
As of June 30, the total unfunded liabilities of the state’s five pension systems stood at $317 billion, a 19% increase from the prior year, according to the report. That largely was due to historically low interest rates, which have depressed pension fund earnings throughout the country.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, under threat of recall, is pushing for young students return to classrooms. Nevada, with 11 straight months of declining gambling revenue, wants to scrap most virus-related restrictions. Alabama, against one of the lowest covid-19 vaccination rates among U.S. states, is saying goodbye to masks next month.
Governors loosening coronavirus restrictions or, like Texas and Mississippi, lifting them entirely are counting on Johnson & Johnson s new vaccine to usher in a return to prepandemic life. Health experts say their surrender to tantalizing normality, amid a death toll of 520,000 and climbing, is courting a potential fourth U.S. surge.

WASHINGTON - It was dark days when, six days before his inauguration, President Joe Biden first released his $1.9 trillion relief proposal. The economic recovery was backsliding, covid-19 cases were surging, and vaccines were just starting to get out.
Nearly two months later, as the Senate plans to begin voting Thursday on a nearly identical package, the economic and public health outlook appear to have changed. The economy is doing better, covid-19 cases have plateaued at a high but much-reduced level, and Biden has said there would be vaccines for every American adult by the end of May.
