I think Minnesota would also follow suit quite expediently.

And Illinois.  There’s your economic powerhouses of the midwest right there.

Just northern Illinois. Leave the Iowa wannabe part out. Watch the suburbs get back 40% of the money they pay in taxes instead of supporting those counties.

I always find it funny when the counties saying they want to leave Illinois make noise, because they would be in trouble without us.

rural Illinois is more like southern Indiana than Iowa. That’s why the each-and-every-decade proposal of splitting illinois in half always has the map drawn as northern Indiana joining Chicagoland for the new Illinois while southern Illinois joins the rest of Indiana as the new Hoosier state.

Fuck Iowa.

Agreed. All my homies hate Iowa.
