Voting matters. Here in Marseilles, nothing changes, the population drops, they ALWAYS vote for the Republican and then they blame it on the Democrats when everything goes to s**t. I am not sure how they figure the Democrats are responsible for the failures of a Republican led City.
Or for that fact i look at the County Boards in LaSalle and Grundy County - so inept they cannot do the work of the people, nothing and I mean NOTHING gets done. In Grundy they often do not even have a quorum (no one shows up to the meetings) to vote on anything.
Yet when the budget is off and taxes are raised and nothing gets done, they blame it on Springfield......WTAF! THEY, the Republicans, are in charge of these county boards. When NOTHING gets done, it is on THEM
Here in this graph below, you can see that the Republicans cause inflation and market crashes and recessions, and unrest in the people. A DEMOCRAT gets elected and fixes everything, but the Republicans still blame them for everything wrong in their lives.
Projection? You betcha! Talking to a local farmer the other day about the projections of the local corn crop sales; He kept saying Biden this and Biden that...I finally had to interject "we had stable markets under Biden. The tariffs, that we do not need, were voted in by YOU. YOU voted for this mess. YOU, decided you did not need those low priced farm hands and that YOU wanted market instability. YOU wanted these tariffs".
He blustered and blathered "Pritzker" and i said "Pritzker what? Did He hold your property taxes down on your acreage again this year? Why yes, He DID work with local governments to make sure you were taxed at a much lower rate per acre than the homeowners and small acreage owners in our area. AND Pritzker last time the tariffs were a problem opened new markets, not for US corn and soy, but for ILLINIOS corn and soy. I think you need to pay attention to where you get your information from, because someone has misled you".
