I hear you. They automatically associate the entire state with Chicago. They are two very different animals.
We eagerly await the state naming of the newly-free former Illinois counties!
Perhaps instead of a 51st star on the banana flag, we could lobby for a small hammer and sickle to represent old Illinois...
90 plus out of 102 or so counties are “normal”. Metro Chicago and it’s scum are beyond salvation. I’m sweating everything now...increased already preposterous real estate taxes, registering semi-autos before Jan. 1 pending court decision, etc. All in all a horseshit state.
Q: Why does NYC now have RCV...?
Why do so many here assume city dwellers are continuing to vote for this...?
