Yeah, people who are out of state are never allowed to speak out about issues.

Remember, what happens in IL stays in IL, we pinky swear!

When IL goes bankrupt and stiffs tons of bondholders from around the nation, we pinky swear that pension funds out of state won't cut benefits after taking a haircut on IL bonds. We double pinky swear!

When IL finally collapses into a third world warzone and there are rivers of migrants flooding other states, that won't negatively affect everyone else's lives, we triple pinky swear!

Well, fortunately, you'll be another state and can laugh. You are so lucky and we are envious.

Well there's plenty of **** to talk about dude! Bad decisions by (sociopath) politicians always affect more than just the people in the immediate area.

Well, I don't laugh. It is like driving past a train wreck, and now I know why traffic is horribly backed up on a stretch of road that doesn't normally have this kind of traffic.

In other words - bad stuff happened to people not involved in the train wreck and now I know why the bad stuff happened to them.

So the homeowners are going to suffer the most,, but they will pass their extra costs down to the renters, so look for rents to rise also.

I’m not sure he’ll be able to laugh because any of those other 49 states is located in the good old United States of America and the quality of the US government compared to other national governments is a lot worse than the government of Illinois in comparison.

I’d offer up JB Pritzger and even Mike Madigan upbagainst Donald Trump and Mich McConnel any day.

Some of us that moved to Indiana still have a vested interest in what happens in Illinois. Most of us still work in Illinois or have family there, so we continue to follow the politics there. Sorry you're annoyed by that. Actually, not sorry.

What is funny about that? The obstructionist and his disciple, ripe for prison. Still on the Illinois forum? You must miss Illinois more than you know, you just can't stay away.

well, its funny that anyone would think that the Pritzker/Madigan pair is somehow better than the Trump/McConnel combo..
Lets see which one of those "pairs" goes to prison first...I think Chubby Pritzker is in hot water for trying to pull a fast one with his real estate taxes..

and, I will continue to post here any time and on any topic I want to..
