The Sun is a big time supporter of the them that is in Illinois. Why would anyone expect anything different from them?

As a side note, another basic problem with st vrs trib reporting is that st columist double as repoters.

Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then.
