Editorial: The Illinois Exodus continues. We’re losing a congressional seat. – Chicago Tribune*

"Census data released in December showed that since 2013, more than 223,000 residents had moved out of Illinois. The number leaving has not made up for the number arriving. Those are people who won’t be paying taxes here in income, property, sales, alcohol, cigarette, cannabis, parking or gasoline. They won’t be renting apartments, shopping here, buying homes, dining out or sending their kids to school. Just about every sector of the Illinois economy is affected when we lose population."

Kinzinger’s district is about to be redistricted which may explain his recent left wing activities for the last year or so. I guess in his opinion being a turncoat to the conservative voters who have elected him may be enough to earn some credibility with the demoncrats and possibly save his job. I wont vote for him again and I know several others who feel the same way. It’s a lost cause to think demoncrats will ever not be in power. Cook/County/Chicago run the show, totally and until voters there get their heads out of their rectums nothing will change.

But yet Springfield doesn’t get it.

No, they get it. They’d rather have 14 all Democrat seats than 14 D seats and 3 Republican seats. Getting rid of all Republicans is the point of the exercise. Population loss is the goal. Our leaders want all opposition gone. One party state is the reason they are doing this.
