Ridgewood NJ, shades of the Garden States future , Illinois is losing more citizens than nearly every other state, and according to reports, the biggest reason citizens are leaving is that they can no longer afford to live in the Land of Lincoln.
In Illinois like New Jersey , the major reason people leave is because the state is simply taxing them out of their homes, according to Chicago’s WGN TV.Illinois lost 33,703 citizens to outward migration last year. In 2016, the state lost another 37,508 people. A report by the Chicago Tribune also noted that Chicago has been a net loser of its citizens for the last three years running. And the surrounding county were also a net loser of its population.
Changes in federal tax law , have made it exceedingly expensive to live in high tax states like New Jersey .
Will Governor Murphy’s massive tax increases , and forced over development , be the straw to break the camels back and locally will the massive new $110 million school budget ,plus millions in school bond financing finally force the last tax payers to head for the hills ?
Will this years school year end with massive flight from town?
Little Josh’s fake charitable tax scheme hit the IRS wall today.
When will Little Josh do something about the high cost of NJ taxes, instead of playing games?
Dems inTrenton will soak us for all we have until nobody is left but those looking for handouts.
This is why people are flocking out of the state going down south to live. The state is getting to be ridiculous
