Ted was on with with Dan Proft and Amy Jacobson discussing Madigan’s chances of being reelected Speaker, how a federal bailout of Illinois will only makes things worse for the state and how pols are passing their equity agenda instead of reforms.
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.”
Madigan is still in office. Can’t Welch just be a puppet for Madigan to run? Of course he is. It’s just a feint to deflect the will of the people.
The most I can make out of 13 preceding comments is that we are at stalemate. To me, that means status quo getting slowly worse. Moving elsewhere tends to reflect that the emigres have decided it’s hopeless. It follows that the hopelessness will grow unless a powerful alternative shows up … and soon. At the moment, the best hope may be a collapse that occurs quickly and painfully. “Hoping for the worst” is a helluva campaign platform. Like destroying the village in order to save it.

I am sure he was the one that pushed the bill in the early morning to handicap Law Enforcement more than they are already. No money to pay for these changes, 700 plus page bill and given 1 hour before the vote. Yes the corruption continues and I am sure Madigan tells him exactly what to do.
Are these politician fools to stupid to realize they’re running everyone that pays into the system to other states or are they just pompous,arrogant morons that dont care about anything but self enrichment!!??
You’re missing the point. This is a progressive utopia. You are not welcome here.
Obviously
No. They are not stupid. They are evil.
Those new laws from the Capital will excelerate Illinois’s demise.
Get put of Illinois as fast as you can.
INCOMPETENCE +CORRUPTION =BANKRUPTCY
Madigan may be “centrist” but his organization and gerrymandering has led to the election of a lot of people who are way left. Dr. Frankenstein’s monster is loose and the Doctor couldn’t control it even if he wants tol
What a shame that the only option available to Illinois residents is to leave.
I see people burning down there houses before they leave.
Yes I left two days ago because Illinois is an embarrassment
I beat you out the door by 2 weeks. Enjoy your new freedom.
Great analysis again from Ted. Madigan’s organization will not die easily. And the announcements of Madigan’s demise are way, way premature.
