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.”
This is like the story in Philly about how PFT wants $100 million from the state right away to repair school buildings. Apparently the union types aren’t familiar with the way you usually get that kind of money–you put it on a bond issue for the voters to approve.

BOHICA. She can jack taxes up and blame it on someone else-Springfield.
I love to see Democrat in-fighting. Will Lori blame Springfield’s rejection on racism, misogamy, or something else?
