Illinois loses population for 5th year in a row

With that Big Bastard JB coming in in January and a Madigan Puppet he starts raising taxes and business and Corporate taxes and fuel and Carbon taxes we are SCREWED! I could see Caterpillar home office leaving Illinois. That would be tax money Gone. Then if they move more assembly lines out of Central Illinois they would be royally screwed. Good luck
