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.”
What? The commissioners weren’t getting enough bribes from the general public, so government has to step in and fill the gap? Maybe the bribe market will be better next year and she won’t have to take this action again.

She’s like Stroger with boobs. So much for positioning herself as a fiscal hawk. This will greatly benefit the collar counties and Indiana.
(The beverage tax will benefit the collar counties.)
