Rescued by moving truck
The latest headlines tell us that Illinois ranked almost dead last at No. 48 in the annual Truth In Accounting analysis of state finances, scoring a grade of F. Additionally, I see that my Illinois taxes last year went to criminal invaders to the tune of $1.6 billion under the failed Pritzker administration. Yes, Illinois is rewarding criminals. And lastly, Illinois was No. 3 in terms of citizens leaving states; only California and New York lost more citizens.
For those of you remaining, taxes will go higher because the state is essentially bankrupt and your share of the taxes is going up as more and more citizens leave. My moving truck is on the way to rescue me.
Goodbye and good luck, Illinois.
