Tolls in Chicago are freaking ridiculous too..I live in WI and took a trip out to the east coast stopped in Chicago on our way to see Millennium park which we took the highway through town. The tollway on the way back was insane, apparently they added a lot more tolls on the turnpike bet they got 10 bucks out of us at least.

Come to WI we don't tax soda, then drive back to Chicago haha. ;)

we left chiraq in 2015. best move we ever made.

I'm sure it was don't see what anyone sees in that town..

lol you spelt CROOK county wrong! lol I hate this state

Sad. It cost a great deal to feed the government worker/welfare slave complex. The bigger the city the bigger the problem/expense. Shrinking labor force due to the above, massive debt at the federal level, and 1/2 the population says it isn't enough. I escaped the city and move to the rural area in a rural county. No public transportation, no crime, no protesters, no street people. It is a Welcome change. Don't worry in N.C. we love kicking it to the property (tax) owners and income, low sales tax to boot. ha ha Can't make this up. Good post sir; maybe it will wake up more people?
