I was born and raised in Illinois. I also attended Northern Illinois University and had opportunity to get jobs in both Wisconsin and Indiana After Graduation. I will admit that I am a home body, who did not want to be away from my parents, but still enjoyed being in Illinois.
I will admit, one of my sons attends School in Iowa, but there are Scholarships in the mix that was not offer by an Illinois School.
Illinois has traditionally had its problems. Pension, not paying their bills timely and corrupt politics. Some of that is changing, but what people forget is everything else that Illinois has to offer.
I refer to an article I saw in the Daily Herald Business Section on Sunday May 1st,2022 about Intercept Illinois. I have been following the happenings of Intersect Illinois since its inception a few years ago during the Gov. Bruce Rauner administration.
