That is correct.

Ten years ago they did however drop to a rating (‘BBB’) just above junk status.

In Illinois, not long at all, no public vote required. Considering there's already a legal medical MJ infrastructure in place, I imagine they could have it done by July if they really wanted to. I wouldn't hold your breath, no pun intended.

Found this article with some detail, but no guaranteed timeline. > https://www.bnd.com/latest-news/article226210435.html

Sweet Mother of God that's a lot of weed! >

"Illinoisans, under the measure, could possess as many as 224 grams, or roughly half a pound, of marijuana at a time. It would also allow individuals to grow as many as 24 plants in their own homes for personal consumption,"

2020 at the soonest because of Republican bureaucracy under Rauner, though freedom is coming

Madigan ran Illinois the entire time Rauner was governor, and still does, so, your answer is illogical..

"Illinois Senate committee OKs pot legalization bill without releasing details

SPRINGFIELD —There are no details filed yet for a bill to legalize recreational adult-use marijuana in Illinois, but that did not stop the state Senate Executive Committee from voting on the measure Wednesday.

“We’re going to be coming back to the committee with the full amendment,” said state Sen. Heather Steans, the bill’s sponsor. “Hopefully we’re going to file it by the end of April and we’re going to have plenty of time to hear it and debate it.”

The actual details of the bill are being negotiated privately by lawmakers, the governor’s office and cannabis industry advocates who say the existing medicinal growing market has the capacity to meet the initial demand of adult-use marijuana legalization.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s proposed fiscal year 2020 budget contains $170 million in projected revenue from legalization. His office has said that projection is entirely dependent on licensing fees, not tax revenue."

Why law makers look out only for their own and corporate interests; hypocrites that they are:

For decades, citizens were arrested and fined huge sums for possessing small amounts.
But now that they are broke, and out of things to tax...
