Illinois turned RED for the first time in 16 years. Looking at the Politico election map, Illinois is now more red than Texas is.

Stunning turn-around for this state. There's hope yet.

Best part about Tuesday's Republican Governor's win in Illinois: the "temporary" 67% income tax increase that the super-majority Democrat state legislature FORCED upon Illinois Citizens now EXPIRES on January 1st. They will NOT vote to make it Permanent ahead of Governor Rauner taking office.

Oh, but Madigan still gets to keep his seat of obstruction and union-catering. BTW, don't look now, but Rauner is planning to phase out the tax increase - over TEN YEARS.

Improvement? Yes, but IL government still sucks. As an Illinois resident who's trapped here due to my economic situation - Just sayin'
