Chicago Mayor Breaks Campaign Vow By Hiking Property Tax
-
Illinois ranks as the worst state in many fiscal categories, and the residents are being forced to pay the price. The residents have had enough, and now they’re leaving the state. In this video I bring along Dylan Sharkey, an Assistant Editor at Illinois Policy to help explain how extreme property taxes, high pension debts and corruption have all lead towards Illinois being among the fastest declining states in the nation. Illinois needs competent politicians. The state is under the leadership of JB Pritzker, one of the most incompetent politicians in the nation. Chicago is under fire leadership of Mayor Brandon Johnson another incompetent politicians in the nation. It’s like the dumb leader the dumbest.

At first glance, West Chicago seems like the perfect place to settle down—surrounded by affluent suburbs, home to the DuPage Airport, and nestled in the economic heart of Illinois. But hidden beneath the surface is a decades-old radioactive disaster that still lingers today.
This video dives deep into the history of the Kerr-McGee rare-earths facility, where thorium processing left behind toxic waste that spread throughout the community. From the radioactive mounds at the old factory site to contaminated creeks and even private yards, the aftermath of this environmental catastrophe is still felt by residents. Despite cleanup efforts, can we really trust that all the waste will ever be removed? Or will West Chicago remain a cautionary tale of corporate negligence and unfulfilled promises?Join me as I uncover the shocking truth behind West Chicago’s radioactive past and the lasting impact on its people.

<div>DePue, Illinois is likely a place that you’ve never heard of, even if you live in the state of Illinois. It’s located about 2 hours west of Chicago along the Illinois River, or about an hour north of Peoria. The town’s economy thrived off of a large industrial plant in the early 90’s. Unfortunately that plant has made half of the town a Superfund site. A giant pile of toxic waste towers above most of the town, and nothing is being done about it.</div>

Oakwood, Fithian, Ridge Farm, Sidell, Rankin, Muncie, Illinois that is? Ever heard of these towns? No? That’s why I’m here because in this video I take you to a handful of dying towns that are in Vermilion County, Illinois that are all losing population fast. These towns depended on the railroad, coal and salt mining industries when they were being built. Those industries have all left the area a long time ago, and nothing has taken their place. This region is depressing and it shows through the abandonment that’s seen in these towns, not to mention the county seat of Danville which is has its own video.<div>https://youtu.be/rNSjcGsONhM?si=iSL2WjdyL-wR-bst</div>

We traveled back to historic Cairo, Illinois to check on the status of the endangered structures still standing there. Well known to photographers who shoot abandoned places, Cairo is a town beset by a severe decline, leaving it with many abandoned buildings, some of which have become iconic, but all of which are still standing on borrowed time. What is still standing and what has been removed.
