Letter to the editor by Kevin Bae, includes “I’m leaving Chicago and Illinois for what I hope are greener pastures. I have mixed emotions but also feel the change is long overdue. I’m tired of Illinois' multiple levels of corrupt government and out-of-control spending. … My house in Illinois is worth a little over twice what I paid back in 1988. But my property taxes have increased 350% during that time. I’m leaving Chicago and Illinois, but honestly, the city and state left me decades ago.”
