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.”
mark–don’t the cc dems have a new 3rd face strategy/ scapegoat –new fed tax reform (blame it on t & reps)? how do you see cc dems blaming state financial mess on fed tax reform playing out- blessing or disaster?
Ooh, yes. You are ahead of the cure on that one. They will ignore the current data already showing flight from blue states before the new tax law, and blame it on that. Bigly.
