-- Connecting the dots between our economy, government and business --
A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
One can only hope with the *$&! in the state capital.
Illinois, your government thinks it owns you, your income and your property. The political class gets away with extortion, bribery, racketeering, and political crimes on a scale second only to the communist Chinese. It is time to vote with your feet. Prove to the political elite they cannot control you.
Unfortunately you are right but with Illinois elections being decided by two counties in Illinois the corruption will continue. Chicago and East St. Louis control our entire government here. Rural Illinois’ have no fair representation. I can’t wait to escape this state as I have realized it is beyond saving thanks to Mike Madigan and his cronies!
Bigfoot,
i am all too familiar with the war urban Illinois wages on its rural citizenry. I escaped the land of Lincoln three years ago. When asked where I’m from I respond by saying that I am a political refugee from Illinois. Almost every person responds with what would normally be an insult to any great state. However, I can only smile and say yes, I know. Illinois is the laughing stock of North America. Even Mexico has fewer criminals elites and better weather.
