Illinois politics/politicians have been the embarrassment of the country for some time now. Long before Trump came on the scene.
(As I said, I know a bit about the State.)
That might be true, but it's hard to believe you actually care about corruption when you show such strong support for the most corrupt administration in modern history.

You mean like back to Al Capone. A born and bred New Yorker and sent to Chicago for ......,
Or back to when New Yorkers labeled Chicagoan politicians -Windbags for saying they could put on a "World's Fair" and did with great success?. The moniker "Windy City" got penned.
Ever check out other major cities corruption and debts? To keep telling us you know a bit about the state of IL. Is about what all can say from links read ....

I don't really "support" any politicians. I certainly don't support RINOs, and for the most part RINOs have stolen the republican party.
I was a one-issue voter in the last presidential election - Trump got my vote because I was concerned about the Supreme Court.

Does this sort of thing appeal to those in rural America where, in some cases, jobs are scare and most everyone is low income?
Things are so bad in Chicago that McDonads and Walgreens moved their headquarters and thousands of jobs to the city and did so to attract and retain skilled employees. Dozens of other companies have done likewise.
The retreat from suburban office campuses is happening throughout the US.
Things are so bad in Chicago that it had 55 million overnight visitors, last year who spent huge sums on lodging, dining, entertainment and shopping.
He's quoting a University of Chicago study. If you're going to opt for ad hominem, at least get the right 'hominem.' And the booming numbers you cite do not disprove the thesis of the disappearing middle class. In fact they might just bolster the thesis.
It's the same in Seattle. For the most part, to live in the city you have to be either very wealthy or very poor. This was not at all true of Seattle even 25 years ago. I knew a bunch of blue collar guys who lived in the city; the last one moved out a little over a year ago.
Same in California, too. I have heard it described of having a 'barbell economy,'--substantial on both ends, very thin in the middle.
A city that has been ruled by the Democrats for too long is in extreme danger
of becoming a Mad-Max wasteland.
Drama queen much?
