Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
How about passing a bill to curb property taxes!
I have read , every three years you should have your insurance broker do a search to get the best rates possible. Amazing how much money a person can save. Stay away from one single insurance company
The insurance companies will make a business decision to stay in Illinois or leave the state. Many times, when the margins decline, they leave the state.
Start arresting and jailing the catalytic convert , air bag and car thefts . That’s one reason for higher insurance rates .
What will the state do when people start having problems getting insurance as all then?
Did the same thing with inhalers and many are not available in the state anymore.
Don’t look at the results of leftist legislation. Look at their (allegedly) good intentions.

The collateral damage will be to drive Allstate and State Farm out of the state too.
If they leave *as they should” I don’t know about Northbrook but if you live in Bloomington I’d stock up on ammo. State Farm and it’s employee’s is the last thing keeping this from Bloomington becoming another St Louis crime fest.
