Sure, Illinois doesn't pay its bills on time, but you better bet there's hell to pay if I don't get my second property tax payment in on time.

Keep up the criticism and you'll have to pay a third.

You have multiple payments? I'm in Georgia and have just one. And it is probably less than one of your two...

Democrats are bleeding Illinois, and they haven't even gotten to the Union Pensions they are going to bail out.

I wish I could move but my business is tied, can't leave without taking a huge loss.

I'm shocked that a state built on nepotism and corruption loves to collect money but doesn't like paying it out.

To be fair it does cost a lot of state money to bribe the dead to vote in IL.

Considering that you actually have to write out the check and mail it to the local county assessor, I'm guessing you've never actually paid property taxes in Illinois.

Amirite??

/5% state income tax, 6.25% state sales tax. All property taxes go to local governments.

Ohio isn't as business friendly, but we're CERTAINLY not as full of derp like Illinois.

At least we can buy liquor in non-state controller stores, and even in gas stations. So we have that over UT, OR, PA, etc.

/but yeah, that is the only highlight
