It’s no wonder Illinois is losing people and representation in Congress. People vote with their feet when you have horrible policies, restrict freedoms and are bankrupt. – Wirepoints joins Chicago’s Morning Answer on AM 560

Wirepoints President Ted Dabrowski joins Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson on Chicago’s Morning Answer. They discuss how Illinois’ population losses led to the loss of another seat in Congress, how the state is working to strip local control from school districts, and why Illinois mayors are rebelling against Pritzker’s latest cash grab.

*Ted misspoke during his conversation on Illinois’ population losses. Mississippi is was the third state besides West Virginia and Illinois to lose population, not Michigan.

My guess is Covid and Pritzkers lockdown(s) will cause an acceleration of people leaving Illinois as they seek employment. It’s easy to destroy what took decades to build. But Twitter is safe now and Illinois got a Red State bailout! Crank up the spending JB!!!!

Hoping some establishment Republicans in Illinois that did not support President Trump are at least gerrymandered out of a job.

I was trying to remember when I filled out the 2020 Census form online? Want to think January/February of 2020 I’m curious how many folks made the Illinois exodus from March 2020 to March of 2021? I would venture to say that the numbers are far worse and are not obviously reflected. Would anyone know where to look at statistical numbers year to year getting out of the Democratic Dream called Illinois?

JB stuffed the ballot box on this one too. Other states didn’t spend nearly what he did on getting every man, woman, child, dead relative, illegal alien etc counted. Of course it isn’t legit, but why do things the honest way when you can cheat the Illinois way.
