The total pension debt there is about 150% of the State's revenue - it's ugly, to be sure, but amortized over a reasonable period it's manageable for a state with a real economy.
I think you'll see bigger problems in the states that are gutting support for their already thin economy, which includes a lot of states Illinois borders. Next downturn in employment will crush some of those places.
