[Gary in Illinois]

George,
I expect that the same question arises about Illinois voters. This state is virtually controlled by Chicago voters who have repeatedly elected the House Speaker, Mike Madigan, his daughter as Attorney General and various democratic governors.

Downstate Illinois is held hostage to the whims of this trio with no way to break the stranglehold so the idiots continue spending us into debt that our great grandchildren will not be able to pay off. Some Illinois residents are seeing the light as the population of Illinois is declining while that of most neighboring states is growing.

I am too old at this point to pull up stakes and leave generations of family to move elsewhere. If it were just me I would certainly not be living here. Not a good decision but one I have chosen to live with.
