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.”
More taxes for the Chicago voters…cool!
Somebody should perform a statistical evaluation of the relationship between taxes increasing and people relocating. Obviously, there’s a positive correlation here.
Also, it seems like Chicago, by frequently increasing taxes and user fees, has a target goal for its population to be much lower than 2.9 million people. Is 29,000 the goal? No, that’s too low. How many city workers are there?
