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.”
The real answer is that IL doesn’t have progressive enough abortion laws. JB told us he wants the most progressive abortion laws in the nation. Free state subsidized third trimester abortions for every resident – legal or illegal – in every community from Rockford to Metropolis and the Quad Cities to Danville. This will drive up housing prices.
