A yellow-vest movment for Illinois?
The election is over and Illinois is now a deep blue state; Interesting because the Blues have been in charge for most of the last 50 years, led by our friend Mike Madigan.
A majority of the voters must have been distracted or on their iPhones because they failed to remember Illinis is billions in debt, highest in real estate taxes, last or near last in every category of any state, People leaving, 43000 thousand between July-2017 and July-2018. Sears is in bankruptcy but is better off than Illinois or Chicago, it has more assets,
Too bad the state and city cannot file for bankruptcy. Many are waiting to see if our new governor will be a pawn, chauffeur or butler to Madigan, Think it is bad now, just wait, The seeds have been planted, a proposed 30 cent additional gas tax, The tax will be the highest of any state, then millions more can be diverted.
The state over the years spent millions in road money on friends and family, also proposed a surcharge on every property to pay down pensions many not earned. No plan on pension reform. Maybe the French yellow vest will come.
