Everybody needs a side hustle these days, and mine is Ukraine, where I am now.
-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
It only took cooperation with ICE to avoid all of this, an agency that is law enforcement whether Illinois chooses to acknowledge that or not. Why do taxpayers foot the bill, again? No one in Illinois voted for this nonsense, dem or republican.
Businesses are losing money because of the SAFE-T act and because criminals are not held accountable. Their transference of blaming ICE and not Illinois policies for the declining business environment is predictable, yet disgusting. JB should just stand at the border with a bag of Illinois taxpayer money and hand it out to whoever comes along.
