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.”
thank you
The idiots in this town can’t help virtue signaling their wokeness. My sleepy little suburb is the exact opposite. It overwhelming decided against becoming a sanctuary city and it is banning dope dispensaries. It’s pensions, while not funded well, are funded well enough; and its services are a bit lacking because it refuses to raise property taxes to pay for them. And that’s the way we like it – we’re not paying overtime to the snow plow drivers to plow streets at 2:00 a.m. They can start plowing at 6:30 a.m. during their regularly scheduled work hours.
