U.S. Rep. Darin LaHood confronted Gov. JB Pritzker about the state’s population trends during the hearing. “People continue to flee Illinois,” LaHood said. “We have the fifth highest unemployment rate in the country, the second highest property tax rate in the country, the fifth highest illegal immigration population in the country, with over 500,000 illegal immigrants living in Illinois.”

If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
