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.”
My buddy does work in the city and uses an expediter. Coincidentally the expediter is a former building department employee. Depending on the scope it adds about $1,000 to the job cost.
What’s a permit?
Street sense! You got it.
Not relevant to this string, but a recent Cert Petition from 9th Circuit may be of interest:

That’s interesting indeed. Depending on how SCOTUS deals with it, it could well be pertinent to any federal “takings” issue on pensions in IL.
Newspeak for shakedown.
