A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign
“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
A question about school choice. If a community has 4 schools, and parents have a choice, what happens if everybody chooses the same school ?Who decides who gets in and what do they use as a factor in deciding?
and the main stream press–trib, st, wttw, junk tv news reports on non of it.
Illinois has been on a course of self destruction for more than 50 years. I finally escaped in Dec. 2016 and thank God I will NEVER live in Illinois again. The state of Illinois is bankrupt and on its death bed. I advise all who can to get out as quickly as you can. As the annual exodus increases, the value of your homes will drop and you won’t have the money to leave.
Yes, Illinois is the next Puerto Rico.
An addict (alcoholic, drug addict, gambler, compulsive shopper or spendthrift) will keep going until someone or something intervenes. Death is too often the first and last intervention .Like a rational family member, I have a duty to save myself and others from destruction.
