Anatomy of a failed liberal state . Illinois Schools, roads and safety get shortchanged to pay for public employee pensions


The Washington Times reports on Illinois, the home of Strongman Barack Obama:
A new Illinois Policy Institute study based on latest IRS data finds a record number of people have been fleeing Cook County. “The income of the people who left Cook County in 2012 was $2 billion more than the income of the people who moved into Cook County … The 2011 and 2012 out-migration will cost the county nearly $30 billion in taxable income over the next decade.”
Imagine that.
