They had hoped to stay until they were hit with their recent Cook County property tax bill that may force them out. “Overall for the year it increased by 60%,” she said. “We are now paying almost $21,000 — $20,200.” She said they had been paying $12,000. Gold said the extra $800 a month they need to find to pay their new yearly bill erased any college money they had hoped to save for their youngest son. She won’t be alone if she joins the Illinois Exodus. Chicago has been losing population for several years and the Land of Leavin’ has been suffering from declining population for five straight years.

No one else wants your liberalism spreading and infecting the rest of us. You made your choices - live with it. IL should have an exit tax so high that you owe them a million if you try to leave. |
