I live in northern IL in McHenry county (a republican county), and I am all for this! How do we get our county on this train!

[rainrope]

Alton is my home town and honestly this is a dumbass idea

Ironically cook county taxes actually go south because of the economic black hole of the south of the state(which would be below Mississippi for reference)

City's sap the towns around the state.

They don't want to be in a communist territory.
Don't blame them.

[clashofclansshield]

I am all for this and my county seems to be blue.

[wheelpartsguy]

Now we need st clair on board as well!!!!

This could all be resolved by implementing a state-level Electoral College. Stop letting city districts treat your state as a serfdom.

How does Kankakee Co get on the split illinois list

[immortalkombatant]

My guess is the woman in the wheelchair is receiving some type of public aid, which just makes this fucking hilarious.

[dvferyance]

Does this mean metro east is joining Missouri?

Rural folks must struggle at math. There is no way they could fund anything without the money from Chicago.

If we get away from Crook county I'm moving to the better half of Illinois lol

[JenniferWells-qyiw]

Yes we really need to do that and st, Clair county

[ItzzWarfare]

The people vote to secede and the government says no. Hmmmm sounds pretty questionable.

[harryn]

They want to separate from the black areas

[uncapabrew]

ILLINOIS Taxing me out OF MY HOUSE 22 YRS !!

[jpcreeper]

I dont blame them but I hope they dont secede because then our state will be permanently blue and even worse!

[striver]

Your taxes are too high to pay for all the people on welfare and government assistance. Also, all the un-needed, well paying government jobs. Typical Democrat City Problems.
