Pritzker’s budget doesn’t do anything to address population loss, taxes, or pensions – Wirepoints joins Craig Dellimore on WBBM

“We’ve got the biggest populations losses in the country. We’ve got the highest taxes in the country; the biggest pension debt by far in the country and home values have been falling. My concern is that this budget doesn’t do anything to make those things improve.” – Ted Dabrowski on WBBM with Craig Dellimore

Those three criticisms are on point. Viz., Population losses, high taxes ( esp. property ) and for sure the devastating uncontrolled pension liability.

Population loss is because of the weather and businesses are leaving because our roads aren’t safe. Hasn’t anyone been listening to these Democrats. Good thing the Safe Roads bill was passed now if they can figure out how to change the weather then Illinois will be good.

Illinois is possibly one of few states within the contiguous US that fair far better than most on the weather front. This year so far slightly atypical.

The Dictator was only speaking to the greedy special interests who will vote for him. He wasn’t speaking to the overtaxed businesses and residents thinking of leaving. He only speaks to and cares about the SJWs, free stuff army, and greedy union parasites who only want to hear about more government and higher taxes. These fools really believe that IF Illinois is losing people it’s because taxes are too low and government too small.

You said it all right there. The lowlifes that scream “good riddance” to those departing are truly fools. You can find them over on Crapital Fax, where they sing the praises of their departed hero Madigan.

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.”
