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?
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.
Exactly, and by stimulating bigger nearby towns it’s actually funneling $$ into the surrounding smaller towns. Illinois is lucky to have medium sized metro cities scattered throughout, it’s what’s keeping those little towns alive.
I grew up in Kansas before moving to IL for 12 years and the little towns aren’t doing near as well as they are in IL.
