The State of Illinois has been flirting with fiscal collapse for decades under Democrat Party misrule. It’s the second-worst state in the nation because of its shoddy finances and other negative factors, trailing only California in terms of sheer awfulness. At least the state legislature has its priorities in order! Lawmakers have just voted to protect tourists from the dreaded menace of miniature shampoo bottles in hotel rooms, and Gov. JB Pritzker signed it into law.

Good thing there’s nothing important going on in Illinois that the legislature should be focusing on. A skeptical person might argue that Illinois has the second-highest unemployment rate in the country or that Chicago is now the murder capital of the world.

One could also argue that it’s important that Illinois has a $142 billion pension shortfall, the second-highest corporate income tax rate in the country, and the fourth-highest in-state tuition for college students. Sure, those are all “problems.” But are they truly serious problems like those teeny-tiny bottles of Prell and Scope in hotel rooms?

Obviously not!

Starting on January 1, 2025, all hotels with more than 50 rooms in Illinois have to do away with miniature toiletries to save the weather from global warming. Hotels with fewer than 50 rooms have until January 1, 2026, to ditch these mini menaces. Any hotel caught flaunting this vitally important legislation will be issued a written warning for the first offense, and a $1,500 fine for the second offense.

It’s going to be unfortunate when Illinois collapses and becomes the next sequel set in the Mad Max universe, all because the Democrats running the state wouldn’t take care of some of those other problems. But at least they fixed global warming.
