#1 Illinois taxpayers have seen the warnings on the wall

Yes, same warning for about the last 50 years or so.

#2 Heh - looks like Trump's not the only President who 'rewards our friends and punishes our enemies', is he? Now the shoe's on the other foot and will be jammed up their asses on or about April 15th, 2019.

There is one drawback to this state emigration thing - Democrats will continue to vote like they did back in their original state. Look at how they ruined my home state of New Hampshire over thirty years.

#4 >The average homeowner who moves from Lake County, Illinois, across the border to Kenosha County, Wisconsin would receive an annual $3,200 annual property tax cut.

But this is represented in the relatively costs for purchasing a house in either area.

#5 Unfortunately they bring their Flatlander ways with them. Loulsy drivers, rude, arrogant and on top of it they're Bears fans.

If one looks at cost per sqft, land price, etc. For a comparable house they get more for their dollar.

#6 When they move, either they need to leave their big-government politics behind, or expect to be treated as disease-carrying locusts who would carry the plague of progressivism and liberalism to a new home.

Ask Colorado.

#8 In the aforementioned county. We've seen crime añd gang activity going up for some time. A lot of the problems started when Little Richie was trying to clean up Chicago during their Olympic bid. This is also when things in Milwaukee really started to go south.
On the plus side we are seeing businesses move north of the line.
