Illinois received a C+. We had a lot of negatives when it came to the people: the workforce stratgies, training, and development. We are currently going under "damage control" by budgeting and consolitdating agencies and departments into the Central Management Services Agency. Since we had started the early retirement plan, we also had a lack of 11,000 people in the workforce. That's a huge number!
Louisiana received a B. Governing magazine claimed that they had a ton of people living in poverty, but large amounts of money coming in at a rapid rate due to oil funds. They neglect the appearance of the state and workforce planning, but is very strong in contracting and purchasing. No one there wants to spend money on facilities and control.
For the amount of people in Illinois versus Louisiana (rank 5 vs. rank 22), I feel as those the grades aren't that accurate. With that many more people, it is harder to resolve some of the current problems that we already have.
