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.
Unfortunately, when we left IL, we kept our IL wireless plan. Our wireless number is used in so many places, it would be almost impossible to inform everyone of new numbers. So IL still has its financial claws in us. Small price to pay when saving $10K in property taxes alone.
Illinois doesn’t bother nickel and diming you to death. Nope, Illinois wants hundreds and thousands more. Thanks JB!
Nothing new here. You pay more for sales tax, property tax, transfer tax and gasoline tax in Hellinois too.
