Editorial: A side to Illinois’ business climate we don’t often see – Shaw Local News Network

"Intersect Illinois cites a litany of Illinois’ economic positives: We’re the fifth-largest economy in the country, 18th-largest in the world. We’re home to 38 Fortune 500 companies, and 1,900 foreign companies are located here. More than 1,800 companies are active in the burgeoning electric vehicle market, and over the past five years, the state has seen a 200% increase in business startups."
