"There’s something very special about the government in Florida and their focus on delivering traditional values for the community," Griffin said at an event organized by the Economic Club of Miami several months after making the announcement.
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.

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
