East St. Louis is in Illinois.
To: Indy Pendance
So you meant to write East St. Louis? Glad you clarified that. I know the residents of East St. Louis don’t refer to themselves as St. Louis.

...it was announced today that Gov Kasich has enticed Ford to move 2000 assembly jobs from Mexico to Avon Lake Ohio. How's that for a new trend? I like Kasich but how much did it take to entice Ford? I'm sure the cost to Ohioans are hidden in the details.

It’s what it is. Illinois will NEVER become red. Chicago is their Achilles heal. It’s sad what has happened to IL. They won’t EVER vote republican and vote freedom. Their map sucks.

Come to Indiana. Our state just found billions in over tax funds and we citizens may get a refund. The refund may equal $50.00 but it is something.

Caterpillar has expanded both the plants in NE Mississippi and the CEO was here a couple of months ago. While visiting here they did remark that they were thinking of expanding their presence here further.

Air conditioning cost, in texas, would eat up that 7% in about 6 months. LOL
And then you have this little thing in Texas, "Corporations with a Texas charter and non-Texas corporations doing business in Texas must file a Texas franchise tax return." Called the: "The Franchise Tax"

Let’em leave. Illinois can attract good paying “green” jobs like...like solar panels for submarines or recycling old tires into sandals or something.

Still like visiting Chicago, but wouldnt want to live there. If your going to drive on the toll roads, make sure you have plenty of cash on hand. Tolls are doubling at the first of the year. They are really sticking it to visitors that don't have an Ipass. Ipass tolls are doubling, but will still be half as much as cash..
