The Center Square) – More than 87,000 people moved out of Illinois taking with them nearly $10 billion in income, according to the latest Internal Revenue Service data. For the last six years, the total lost adjusted gross income is more than $47.5 billion.

Meant to say millionaire putzes, but you know, everything I originally typed still works. The billionaires voting democrat in every area are the same.

The gift that keeps on giving = Wife and I left Grundy County in late 2001.
We did a company re-lo to Northern KY. Putting IL in our rear-view mirror was so sweet, tho we loved Goose Lake n our rural life.
Never lived in Illinois, nor did I ever want to.I have visited there however & it wouldn’t be bad if they got got a decent government. I used to be in constant contact with someone in Rockford & the problems with Pritzker & his bunch made up a fair share of the conversation. I can certainly understand people moving away from there.
Working on it. I’m in Johnson City, TN right now.
