Illinois pretty much gets the kind of government they deserve. If it wasn’t for Chicago, Illinois would be a great place to live.

If life were fair, Chicago would be either a separate state, or in Wisconsin.
Actually, it is the “Collar Counties” and suburban Cook County, that hold the counterbalance, such as it is, to Chicago city politics.

Took the words right out of my mouth. Mike Royko once said that without Chicago Illinois would be just another Iowa. Throw us in that brier patch, please.

You beat me to it. Isn’t Illinois state law basically the following: “Blah, blah blah...except Cook County...” or vice versa, etc?

If it wasn't for Chicago, Illinois would be a great place to live.And if it weren't for Philadelphia, Pennsylvania would be a Red State! I feel your pain.
