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.”
It makes it sound as if COVID is the former governor Rauner’s fault? The governor claims to protect citizens with draconian lockdowns yet leaves some of the most vulnerable citizens still open to this virus and is not held accountable. Good luck to that governor in 2022. Too bad Illinois is still voting for ANY dems – this will continue until Illinois can clean house once and for all.
