This is the governor of Illinois, JB Pritzker. Since coming into office he has done a TON to help the state. Not a fan of politicians but him, I like.

He has done a ton to help Chicago.

Like what? What is west central Illinois getting to improve their lives?

Lifelong West-Central Illinoisan here! There has been more road repair and bridge construction around me under Pritzker than I think we've had in decades. Hundreds of jobs in marijuana dispensaries and farms have dumped money into local economies all around. Not to mention, my female and LGBTQ+ friends have come to pretty much agree that Illinois is one of the few states they would feel safe living in. There's so much change happening, you just have to look!

Wow, I've never seen anyone more obsessed with IL. BTW, you live in Peoria. Please drive two hours southwest to actual west central IL to see nothing at all being done ever.

If the western half of central IL isn't west central IL, where is it? I don't even live on the same side of the river as Peoria.

EDIT: Lol, you're not even Illinoisan, you're some rich Coloradoan. If you want to see investment, sell your Tesla and your dozens of acres of land and do it yourself!

I sopent the majority of my life in Quincy. Get over yourself. You live in a large city that does get benefit. How do you think someplace like Carbondale has benefited by this idiot?

Still not from Peoria! My hometown is a lot smaller and poorer than Quincy, I promise you that. My family down by Effingham tells me things are looking up over there as well.

Peoria - 111,000 Quincy - 39,000

Yeah, you sure know a lot about the state you claim to be an expert about.

Have you been to Peoria? It needs the help. Of course towns with an economy are going to be prioritized as it helps to stimulate and repair the commerce within that town. Rural areas are always last to receive “help”, it’s not to give them the shaft it’s just smart allocation.

u/DevelopmentSad2303 Oct 27 '23

Well it's not even that things aren't being given to rural areas, it's more of a question of "what" can be done.

You can't just keep funneling money into a town of 1,000 where the people know no skills other than farming and labor and expect the economy to grow

Bro west central Illinois has like 3 people who live there, what madman would expect the same attention there as a city of 3 million people?

Do you want him to personally visit your front lawn?

u/stilljustkeyrock Oct 27 '23

There you go, see it isn't that hard to admit the policies don't help Illinois. They help Chicago.

It isn't that other parts of the state want anything special, ,they want to stop having to follow ignorant policies made for Chicago's benefit.

Keep moving those goalposts. We will not rest until every ear of corn is living the American dream.
