Democrats believe it’s the state’s lack of investment in education and infrastructure.

By gosh!

The Dems are sooooo very right!

First, they need to raise taxes, and then, of course...

Build a few bullet trains.

(Hmmm, let's call them "high speed rail trains", this IS Illinois.)

The Illinois Transportation Department had previously said speeds of 110 mph would be reached by 2019, but the agency has stopped offering predictions on when that will happen. The 110-mph speed would shave about an hour off the typical 5½-hour Amtrak trip between St. Louis and Chicago.

Driving time:
4 h 38 min (298.3 mi) via I-55 N
