If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
You mopes will pay whatever they tell you to. That’s why you are still there. You either have no choice but to stay or you are just some of the democrat leeches. It’s what low IQ slaves do.
Go ahead, political animals. Calculate your number. From this we will deduct the entire spend on welfare, public housing and other prepaid reparations doled out since 1865.
Reparations are racist
If Illinois ends up paying reparations courtesy of the taxpayers, that should cause another dip in the state’s population as more people relocate. But it seems only a small portion of our leftist political heroes would care.
