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.”
Those wacky IL pols are at it again. You have to love projected revenue figures. How many residents will move out of state because of these draconian tax increases? The answer is: many more than the IL pols will tell you. The pols are shifting the death spiral into high gear now.
How much will this increase the total amount the state has to fund out of its operation budget year over year for all the vehicles it supports? Anyone know?
I have been unable to find a consolidated number.
