This reminds me of the 33 Illinois counties that have voted to leave Illinois. It will never happen, but I love tweaking Illinois. I support Indiana opening up a “Consulate” office in one of the 33 counties. We could offer support services to businesses and people that are desperate to leave Illinois. The publicity alone would be worth the cost.
You willing to spend $3.5 billion of your tax dollars to build a football stadium to tweak Illinois?
“Indiana Gov. Mike Braun has offered to build a stadium for the Bears with public dollars at a price tag that insiders say will top $3.5 billion. ”
The same governor who screamed about the LEAP district and how awful it was and how we were going to do economic development centered on small town Indiana … is now throwing billions as a football team for economic development, for a fan base that will drive in, tailgate, and drive back out. And what development around the stadium there is? All the tax revenues will go to attempt to pay for the stadium, with us taxpayers serving as the backstop.
But don’t worry. When legislators get the math wrong, I’m sure they will raise some income or sales taxes to make up the difference. It’s not like they’d cut spending on Indiana residents even more to cover for their mistake, right?
Whoa! Read what I said. Nothing about funding a stadium. I just want to lease space in a small town and deem it an “Indiana Consulate” in Illinois. With staffing it will cost a few $’s, but it might actually generate a bit of movement to Indiana.
What movement? The percentage of people in Illinois truly interested in becoming Indiana residents, I’d wager, drops significantly as soon as you explain to them … they lose their legal weed.
Besides, the numbers have been run. Those counties would be a revenue suck on Indiana. They’d cost far more for us to maintain than we’d ever get back.
Indiana Republicans can always find funding for Billionaire’s development projects even at the cost of defunding childcare services for working families and shutting down critical therapy schools for autistic children

I absolutely cannot stand this MAGA, obnoxious, arrogant governor. He accomplished NOTHING as a Senator for IN, and even less as governor.
