Ted joined Greg Bishop of WMAY to talk about the new Census data detailing where the 146,000 net Illinoisans that left in 2021 moved to, the multiple reasons why Illinoisans leave, why those issues can’t be solved as long as Gov. Pritzker refuses to acknowledge Illinois’ losses, how crime is up 38% in Chicago vs. the same month last year, and more.

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.

Chicago’s political leadership is floating a pension buyout program as evidence it is seriously addressing the city’s thirty-six-billion-dollar unfunded pension liability, but Mark Glennon, founder of the Illinois policy research organization Wirepoints, said that the proposal moves debt from one column to another rather than reducing it, and that the broader fiscal picture facing the city continues to deteriorate across every measurable dimension.

It’s bleeding White people. Not Mexicans and Asians. That is the reality and Census data confirms that.
Black people are leaving too. So really, blacks and white together are the natives. The natives are leaving Illinois and are being replaced.
People can live in alternate realities indefinitely. In fact, it’s mandatory if you haven’t noticed.

I noticed they stopped saying cold weather was the reason for people leaving IL, because the nearby states’ data showed that wasn’t the case. The reasons are high taxes, corruption, crime, etc. Since they won’t admit that, they just say IL isn’t losing population and ignore the irrefutable data or say all data sources yielding such data are wrong.
If round boy did acknowledge the people fleeing , he would have to admit that his regressive policies are the root cause. He would never do that because his ego will not let him.
He also denies the harm of public employees. Illinois public employee unions are the filthy cancer that is killing Illinois
Pritzker denies census data — just like he denied the evidence on COVID.
JB knows nobody will call him on any of his lies. The Chicago media is a disgrace.
Here’s the JB play for DC…. I am the Gubnah…. I represent all of Illinois… But, outside of Chicago, no one likes me…. But, wait, Chicago loves me and look at how well the jewel of the middle-west is doing!!! Oh wait, people are leaving, schools are failing, it, like the state, survives by federal handout and are, by every measure, sinking and broke…. Yes, I would be a great President…. Worked for Brandon: decades of doing zilch as a politician, cognitively failing as he ran a campaign from his basement…. Boom! Gets the White House…. Thank God he’s as… Read more »
How much money did Illinois lose because of this and why isn’t it mentioned anywhere?
It’s been covered extensively in the past but updated stats would be good. For every dollar you send Springfield or D.C., that’s one less dollar those that haven’t left have to spend to keep the local mom and pop shops alive.
Agree that these facts have been stated in the past and need to be updated. Also agree, the Mom and Pop shops should be supported, but many of them are leaving as well, for many reasons. Buying or shopping anywhere in ILL-inois supports, in part with taxes, the same illegitimate regime that is the impetus for many of us to leave.
