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.

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

Great analysis again from Ted. Madigan’s organization will not die easily. And the announcements of Madigan’s demise are way, way premature.

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.

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.”
