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.”
Don’t call it a comeback, they’ll be like this for years, out-spending its peers, puttin taxpayers in fear
Very likely the first time LL has made the Wirepoints comments.
Happytalk from politicians has no relationship to reality.
Pritzker and Chicago Democrats let the ‘wokeness’ Genie out of the bottle, putting public safety and the economy behind playing partisan politics. It will take a long time to recover, if ever. Democrats seem real good at destroying what took decades to build up. Enjoy the ‘wokeness’ Chicago.
Lori’s idea of economic development is to throw away more money on ridiculous projects in the south and west sides intended to buy votes to insure her reelection. Wasting money on contact tracers, safe passage workers, virtual summer workers, and now unnecessary construction projects. They do not want affordable, they want free. Lori is just waiting for senile joe and goofy Harris to win so she can get a bailout. She is buying off her voters to get re-elected.
You would have to be insane to put money in a down town business.They will burn it out when round 2 comes to chicago.
Property insurance rates have to at least double, if you can get it.
