I am in Wisconsin. But you are right it happens everywhere. But not to the scale of Illinois. In Wisconsin the laws have limited municipality spending and taxing. Also, pensions are limited. And local municipalities have to pay for pensions. They can’t just pass them to the state. Walker made huge changes that are still in force.
Our voting here is corrupt at the state level. But local voting outside of big cities is still good. So the big vote counting centers that are the basis of most of the fraud can’t seem to stop local and state officials from being fairly elected.
Illinois is toast and will never comeback. It will turn into Detroit before it gets back to a viable place to live again.
Sorry if my comment prompting your response appeared provocative or aggressive. Just bothered by these constant statements of "am leaving my state" or "gotta invest your money elsewhere" without any specification as to where.
