https://www.bnd.com/news/state/illinois/article307803585.html
(FROM THE ARTICLE: Kendall, Champaign, Grundy, McHenry and Will counties gained the greatest percentage of residents, though the change wasn’t stark for most. Although none of the metro-east’s counties cracked the top five, Clinton and Monroe counties did see modest population gains, with Clinton adding 174 residents and Monroe adding 16. Brown, DeKalb, Kane, Lake, DuPage, McLean, Douglas and Putnam counties also saw net population gains from 2020 to 2024.)

CAPITOL NEWS ILLINOIS
— Did you get a student loan? I did not even try to get one a) because I was not viewed as being college material, b) because my ACT score was only 24, and c) because I only just barely made it into the upper 20% of my high school class. Therefore, I worked my way through college. But my GPA suffered. I spent far too many hours washing dishes and delivering mail instead of studying.

I should write about what leaders of political organizations do to punish their members like me who they cannot manipulate or dominate, who refuse to glorify and praise them, who refuse to pander to them, who refuse to serve as one of their operatives or dupes, who refuse to cover up their wrong doing, and/or who refuse to give them money. I would focus on past and present leaders of the Illinois Republican Party, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Milton Township Republican Organization. Anticipate/expect that sooner or later, they will all officially become Democrats.
