Can Illinois be saved?
Illinois should rename itself “Titanic,” because it is definitely sinking.
With the exodus of a 100,000 people leaving Illinois per year, I do not think that Illinois can be saved.
The reason for people leaving is Gov. J.B. Pritzker’s high taxation. He has not figured out yet that people continuously leaving Illinois is not going to save his family’s Hyatt Hotel in Chicago.
