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.”
Gee and here I was gonna move there! Haha
They do put together a VERY impressive detailed budget which easily puts my town’s simplistic budget product to shame!
I even called (this was years ago) and gushed over it, how beautiful it was and the lady said, “Our residents expect nothing less.”
And there ya go – that makes ALL the difference!
Another of many examples of a municipality not following its own board rules during board meetings..
Edgar County Watchdogs has written about that for years.
