Place a tax on home sales in Illinois, say X% of gross over X dollars or as a percentage of the capital gain. Probably a flat % of gross would be the easiest. This would nail the liberals retiring and moving to Florida...but also of course the conservative too. The may want to levy taxes on retirement income paid to out of state residents. It’s too bad that the government was allowed to over promise pensions. Time to pay the piper Illinois (& Connecticut, California, etc.).
Kennedy accuses Emanuel of ‘strategic gentrification plan’ to force blacks out of Chicago
Democratic governor candidate Chris Kennedy on Wednesday accused Mayor Rahm Emanuel of leading a “strategic gentrification plan” aimed at forcing African-Americans and other minorities out of Chicago to make the city “whiter” and wealthier.
“I believe that black people are being pushed out of Chicago intentionally by a strategy that involves disinvestment in communities being implemented by the city administration, and I believe Rahm Emanuel is the head of the city administration and therefore needs to be held responsible for those outcomes,” Kennedy said during a news conference about gun violence in North Lawndale.
“This is involuntary. That we’re cutting off funding for schools, cutting off funding for police, allowing people to be forced to live in food deserts, closing hospitals, closing access to mental health facilities. What choice do people have but to move, to leave?” Kennedy added. “And I think that’s part of a strategic gentrification plan being implemented by the city of Chicago to push people of color out of the city. The city is becoming smaller, and as it becomes smaller, it’s become whiter.”
