I have been an Illinois resident most of my adult life. I am retired now and the nature of my wife's job will allow us to live anywhere we want. The grand kids are older now and we are thinking of selling and getting out of this socialist hell hole.
Texas is looking better and better.
If it were not for my elderly parents I would consider leaving now and heading for Tennessee or North Carolina. I'm a southern girl at heart anyway.
You'd like Montana better than Texas.
Wellll.. If you have to.... come on. But between, "open borders" to the South, Katrina refugees from the East, California refugees who don't know enough to stop in Nevada and Arizona, (given Nv's and Az senators, understandable) A few DamnYankees more or less won't matter. LOL
