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.”
Once again, for the middle class, it doesn’t matter whether the progressive state income tax becomes law, because IL desperately needs huge amounts of money to feed the high salaries/pensions/health care benefits machine,. If the tax becomes law, the middle class will be screwed, either immediately or eventually. If it doesn’t become law, the middle class will be screwed because the Dems will generate additional revenue in other ways; e.g., raising the flat tax rate. Relocation out of state seems to be the only way to stop the continued abuse of the IL resident by the Dem pols.
What credibility does Brady have?
