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.”
At some point Illinois will be in the rear view mirror of many.
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. Just can not take this anti US citizen and anti tax payer government and policies anymore there are just too many greener pastures out there. Its not just the taxes, I fundamentally do not agree with what the Leftists in Chicago and Springfield are doing and I do not agree in what they are pushing on us.
