-- 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
Note the name in the headline ” workers ” meaning as time goes on Illinois is on a path to becoming a fully populated welfare state that will trade its electoral votes to the Presidential candidate that promises the most welfare.
I’m still waiting for my FOID card from Illinois,been over 8 months,in that time we moved our home to Indiana,and there’s also talk of no license for conceal carry in Indiana.
In Hammond they also have free college as long as you keep your grades up,and do some community service
Funny how this just popped up — my lease expires in 6 months and I’ve been very seriously scouting for a new state to move to. The main reason is I am sick of apartment living and want to live in a proper home.
But there is absolutely no way in hell I could ever justify buying a home in Illinois. Even after you pay off the mortgage you will be getting reamed with ever skyrocketing property taxes. Unless you are filthy rich, home ownership in IL is the dumbest investment a person can make.
What a great idea. For people to get the heck out of that He!! Hole.
I just checked U Haul rates.
From Rockford to Fort Wayne in a 26″ truck is $620
From Fort Wayne to Rockford is ” ” $292
From any other state to Illinois you get a free trip to the insane asylum.
No one seems to want to move from there to here. Smart people!
Anyone wanna go in on a u-haul…?
Where ya headed lol
Great idea Indiana! Very inviting.
What incentives does Indiana have for a small business to move there?
Jelly Belly will counter that by charging people $10,000 to leave the state.
Don’t give them any more ideas that has been tossed around a few times
Yes we will go if it gets approved. Fail to plan. Plan to fail.
The public as a whole has never understood that the states are each others competition just like Amazon and Sears. Unfortunately, Illinois is like Sears, no longer a concern to any competitors.
If this gets approved they’ll have plenty of takers.
