Kankakee is in terrible shape. Drove through the downtown a month ago and was shocked at how shabby it is. Pensions are in near collapse– especially the Fire and Police. Property taxes are driving out all the businesses. Heartbreaking to see what has happened in a town that was really pretty nice only twenty years ago.
