A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign
“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
Criticize Jabba now, because once the state of emergency goes into effect speech and thought will be strictly controlled
Remember the cries from the traditional news outlets that Trump’s attacks on a free press endanger democracy? This is no different.
It’s not unexpected that a terrified and cornered government like Illinois will lash out at the speakers of truth. Illinois is in a death spiral and near financial collapse so expect more of this behavior form Pritzker and the IL Democrats. Next they will unleash Kwamie Rsoul onto the press and other speakers of the truth with baseless criminal charges and a few days of time in holding cells.

“60 Minutes” had a piece about the Flint water disaster. It said that Newark NJ is the next city with a toxic water catastrophe. Cities are in a perfect storm–infrastructure built during the Eisenhower era has passed its expiration date at the same time that cities are broke from unfunded pension liabilities.
Part of the problem may be the fluoridating of our water supply. Check out http://www.fluoridealert.org There are many studies for and against this idea so who knows.
American Water Works among others are buying up municipal water and waste systems, upgrading the infrastructure and eliminating pension hustlers as we speak. Alton Illinois for one sold out in order to partially fund its underfunded pensions. Once again another kick the can down the road approach to the problem.
