Of course, the reason IL's property taxes are so high is because Illinois democrats, mostly Michael Madigan, the nation's longest tenured state speaker, have flushed this state's finances down the drain. Democrats in Illinois aren't typical democrats - they are more like a state sanctioned mafia. Once the kiddos are in college, I'm out. I'm not going to be the last person to turn out the lights - this state is fucked.

The question is: where you going?
I enjoyed my one year of living in Chi-town all those years ago, but the politics of the place were wild. Those were the days when Harold Washington was Mayor and Jesse Jackson was running for President, and the old white machine(s) were more than a little confused.
