Glennon raised the stakes of the moment in broader civilizational terms: “This election in Illinois is not about the usual pedestrian issues… it’s about nothing less than whether Western civilization survives in our democratic republic of America because [the left], just on the open border alone, will destroy the country, and now they’re bringing in the jihadists, frankly, into the party.” Audio and summary linked here.Audio and summary linked here.
New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.
Among the consequences of economic growth that badly lags national averages are billions of lost revenue every year. Yet denial reigns in Illinois, fueling the vicious cycle of demand for higher taxes.
The “large pool of skilled workers” isn’t as large anymore.
Well, at least the houses being slapped together for Section Eight recipients and illegals ( because we owe them that ) by illegals will be cleaned by other illegals and have perfectly manicured lawns maintained by illegals. Just change the name of this pukehole to Mexinois, make the state flag red, green, black and white to appease the protected class and be done with it. The Midwest is a punchbowl and IL is the turd floating in the middle of it.
I’m sure the results of the latest primary bodes well for major change in Illinois. Idiots.
Employers are going to have to offer hazard pay to keep employees that have to live in Illinois.
The worst threat to Illinois economy is Illinois. The state has done a great job at discouraging businesses and has chase away the high-income job creators to other states in its lust for money to pay for the excessive cost of the public sector unions.
