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.

It's almost like what the city could be if the suburbs didn't come in existence specifically to erode its tax base while benefitting from its existence.
