Title: Does Wisconsin Want It?
Post by: Not A Serious Person on February 12, 2019, 03:38:25 PM: Lawmaker Pushes Bill to Make Chicago its Own State

A downstate Republican lawmaker has introduced legislation which would make Chicago its own state.

State Representative Brad Halbrook of Shelbyville introduced the legislation on February 7th and he urges the U.S. Congress to make Chicago its own state and not a part of Illinois.

Halbrook cites information in his bill saying, "the majority of residents in downstate Illinois disagree with City of Chicago residents on key issues such as gun ownership, abortion, immigration, and other policy issues."

The bill was co-sponsored by State Representative Chris Miller of Robinson and Darren Bailey of Louisville.

But nobody ever accused downstate Republicans of being intelligent.

You seem enlightened. And you have clearly mastered the art of reason. Too bad more people don't have the level of intellectual enrichment you have achieved.
