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.”
Welcome to Illinois
1 .If these guys are starting at $180K per year, what the heck is the tollway director making?
2. Add this quote to the long list of clueless or understated quotes from IL pols: “It seems excessive.” These pols are so insightful.
With $45 billion to spend, the patronage free for all trough feed is already no!!! Yee-ha!!
Parasites are uncommonly adaptive — Darwin lives!
It takes a lot of $1.00 tolls on an ipass to pay these government workers $186,000 a year, plus benefits. Seems excessive to me. Are there any jobs in the private sector that would pay these people $180,000 a year? Doubtful.
But if tolls are doubled it’ll be easier to pay their salaries! With taxes going up the tollway workers will need raises
