Op-Ed: Pritzker’s senseless Census celebration hides why Illinoisans are moving out – Center Square

Brad Weisenstein, of the Illinois Policy Institute: " Of course, you’d expect him to grab onto the 'Illinois is growing' theme, because it lets him ignore the public policy issues that he’s made worse, including $2,165 in new taxes per family that are driving those families out."

Moved from Frankfort to SC last December. Bought house in 2003 for $309K with annual property tax of $7K. Village built a high school that was essentially never used and property tax increased to $10K with no relief. Sold the house because tax increased to $12K. New house here in Simpsonville has property tax of $2.3K.
