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.”
The ISAC is a joke. My son is a top student and he recently received, after all the early action deadlines, a letter from them that he was designated an Illinois Scholar and he will have an online badge he can attach to his profiles. Meaningless of course, but it is also after the deadlines. Close this useless bureaucracy.
Taxpayers always on the hook for failed policies.
