Illinois Chamber of Commerce CEO says ‘one-time factors’ led to state’s jump in one business ranking – Center Square

“How do you rank Illinois at 15th overall when [the] cost of doing business is at 29, the overall economy is at 48th and business friendliness at 48th?” said Todd Maisch. “It looks like we have benefitted from some of these one-time, transitory issues when the bottom line is that our economy, business-friendliness and cost of doing business are well under the national average.”
