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.”
I worry the Governor Wideload wants the money for public pension debt and new spending. No help for the suckers out of work and losing their homes and businesses because of his dictates.
Illinois has to borrow money and here all along I thought they had a tree that grows money up there in Springfield/Chicago.
They have you, which is just as good as a money tree
The name “Illinois” is just as offensive to native Americans as “Chief Illiniwek” was.
I say, enough!!!
Let us officially change the name to, “The State of Intoxication” and be done with it.
This would not only end the degradation of native Americans but would much better describe the states population as it exists today.
What could possibly be more reasonable!?
What a disgrace! Moodys please downgrade this municipal debt once and for all! They can’t balance a budget without two rounds of emergency borrowing.
That’s pocket change for the Dictator! He has to pay this
Wow, shows what an incredibly desperate fiscal situation Illinois is in. Illinois is still only state to borrow from fed flm program and now is going back for a second round for another $2 bil, all which will have to be paid back on the tax payers dime!! without a dime of cuts to state workers. And the machine can’t even wait till Georgia January runoff..unbalivable!!
Just never ever ends
