I am S. Spacek, author of the American State Litter Scorecard and the above seven issues posted by Alberta Yoo are NOT part of the Scorecard!
The Scorecard's listed issues for illinois are as follows:
1. Poor State Highway Maintainance (removing trash/debris from roads and expressways)
2. Ultra high rate of Public Servant Corruption Convictions
3. A Top Five State for Fatal Debris-caused Vehicle Collisions (over 35 persons die across the Land of Lincoln each year )
4. Every man, woman and child each throws aways higher than national average amounts of Daily Wastes
5. No Container Deposits (Bottle Bill), No Comprehensive Recycling yet passed.
