Illinois is a great example of why people are running from blue states
 [American Thinker] People are moving from high-tax Democrat-run states to states that are more welcoming to businesses and individuals. The way Illinois is run shows many reasons why.In Illinois, the legislature schedules adjournment by May 31, and their salary is $69,464 per year. They also get substantial pensions and other benefits with a few years of service. They also get an extra salary if they are a leader or head of a committee. The Legislature is very generous to itself. This year, they are scheduling adjournment by early April so they can campaign. My guess is that their opponents don't get taxpayer-paid time off to campaign. They will probably have fewer than thirty scheduled legislative days this year for their salary. They will make as much for a few days in session as the median family makes in Illinois in a year. Posted by: Besoeker 2022-01-08 |
