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.”
Yep, much lower property taxes as well as all sorts of other taxes like gasoline and sales tax just to name a few. And don’t forget much lower workmen’s compensation rates as well.
Who in their right mind wouldn’t want to get the hell out of Illinois?
Hey fat boy and little girl, are you listening?
