I personally know of 5 (FIVE) different young couples all making $100K+ between 30-40 years old all moving out of Illinois for all the reasons mentioned but unsaid being the way the mayor and governor handled this COVID-19 situation. Total government overreach will spook the everyday citizen.

if this “UNFAIR” tax passes I will be moving. period. cya IL ! and trust me I make a lot and am a law abiding, hard working citizen.
