Editorial: A redistricting truce between Illinois and Indiana? Yes, please – Chicago Tribune/Yahoo

"(Gov. JB) Pritzker has to recognize the unpopularity of mid-decade redistricting for purely political purposes in a state with some of the worst gerrymandering in the country. He and the Democrats in the General Assembly simply don’t have the moral high ground on this issue."

Gerrymandering in Illinois, nonsense. The next step in Illinois politics will be that only democratic candidates will be allowed on ballots. Proudly the democrats will defend this act as responsible.

There is no need for a “truce” between Indiana and Illinois because they aren’t even close in leadership. One is run with a budget surplus, low income taxes and low property taxes. The other is run by grifters that think the only way to balance a budget is to find more tax revenue. People will continue to flee because Illinois leadership does not listen. No ideas, no leadership, no future. Love this state.

Cut a deal with Lucky and the other slimy Dems that they will renege on in the middle of the night in Springrad once they get their ducks in a row? No, thank you.

Independent and Republican voters already have no voice in IL government.

Is it even possible to gerrymander the state of Illinois more than it is?
Independent redistricting if anyone was actually honest in the state of Illinois.
