[quote:Anonymous Coward 13039040:MV80NDkxMDYzXzgxODEwNTUyX0E1NDRBRUEz] If circumstances are causing people to flee an area, you can be sure that was the intent. Maybe the "social engineers" thought Illinois was too crowded. Maybe they want the land for themselves, cheaply. I think the Great Lakes region is the most promising, going forward. I've thought about moving up there. I don't like the cold though; and I don't like the idea of waters that are too cold to swim in even during the height of summer. Still, it holds an allure to me: the boating and fishing on what amounts to a freshwater "sea". [/quote]

Illinois has a population problem: Our population has been shrinking faster than any other state (except one). The Chicago Tribune Editorial Board and others call this the Illinois Exodus.
In a recent Gallup poll, Illinois ranked dead last in the 50 states on trust in state government. Public corruption plays a big role in that ranking, of course, but trust in Illinois government management of finances also helps explain why people have been voting with their feet.
