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.”
The money can not run out fast enough in Illinois.
They are trying to deplete all accounts as quickly as possible by refusing to furlough people who have zero work such as library workers. The quicker the accounts are emptied, the greater hope for a federal bailout.
The small business job losses in Illinois are not due to the coronavirus pandemic. They are the direct result of the illegal actions of Governor, J Beluga Pritzker, who in complete ignorance of what it even means to have to work for a living, has declared that it is illegal to do so.
P.S. I hear that cake is all the rage at the big estates in Florida this year…
