I remember when the Chicago Tribune opined about Ken’s moving from IL to FL. They said that when he left, 1% of IL’s Tax Base went with him (him, his employees & Citadel’s cumulative taxes). Now, multiply that by Thousands of others who have moved out for the same reasons, and you have a Fiscal Death Spiral. Johnson’s Head Tax will exacerbate the process, and Chicago will end up looking like Kwame Kilpatrick’s Detroit in a matter of years…

He is the biggest loss Chicago has ever taken. He is never coming back to Chicago.
He sold at the market price; things are bad and getting worse.
