Probably even worse. The State of Madiganistan will not allow any common sense to prevail, nor will they pass any legislation lead by Republicrats. This has been going on for more than 25 years.
The politics in Illinois might be messed up, but it was always a pretty decent place to live. I spent 40 years there! A lot of great small towns with a lot of history and old buildings.
Everything where I live now is new. Houses that are 20 years old are considered outdated and old. I love old farm houses, Victorian homes, and those that were built in the early 1900's when the industrial boom hit in the part of the state I used to live in.
