I live in Dacula. I have family (mostly female) that live in St. Louis and Illinois.

Please do not hit on them. They are all virgins. Not really, I just don’t want to be related to you. :)

There are billboards like that in Minnesota touting the advantages of moving your business across the border to Sioux Falls, SD: No income tax, low sales tax, much less burdensome regulations, etc.

The background doesn’t like the parts of Illinois I’ve seen.

convinced my wife 16 years ago to leave her MA , and move to FL, ... We have not looked back since and it was the best move we have ever done. Now our votes mean something.

I left 40 years ago. Still have my family and wife’s family members living there and half are retired and still they refuse to leave???? Go Figure.

I can still LOVE Da Bears and Cubs from afar.

And that’s before they implemented a state wide 1% income tax to essentially fund Chicago pensions.

I’ve been a Mets fan through thick and thin since I was a kid, though I always admired Mr. Cub, Ernie Banks. Amazing how he, along with Ralph Kiner, Rod Carew and a few others are in the Hall of Fame, yet never played in a World Series.

That's unfortunate. It only takes a few minutes to learn how.

Something left out of these various state exodus stories is the role of the US Supreme Court from the early 60s.

Thanks to its Reynolds v. Sims ruling, Senator Dirksen of Illinois warned that Chicago would come to dominate Springfield. He was right, and due to Reynolds, Illinois is near bankruptcy and losing population as people flee high taxes, higher unemployment, and societal destruction.

If Your State is a Mess.

Do you know how to mold carbon fiber composite material into life saving devices?

It only takes minutes. I do that for a living.

What is the value of time? I choose my time wisely to make a difference and not be critical of others.

I provided a link.

It was a horrible decision that required rewrite of just about all state Constitutions. Tyranny.

If only it didn’t mean two more rat senators I’d support it.
