Guest Martin McLaughlin in dailyherald: Illinois needs a business climate change
Illinois may be located in the Midwest, but it is home to a surprising and alarming number of deserts. At least that is what the Democrats like to tell us.
The so-called remedy to these"deserts" is not the cure but is instead the underlying problem. Democrats have had total control of the state for a long time, and at no point has the thought occurred to them that just maybe the aggravating factors contributing to all of these"deserts" is the policies they have implemented. The left loves to talk about systemic problems and yet they ignore the systemic problems their policies have created.
For those naysayers who point to the fact that this survey should be disregarded because it is from a conservative leaning think tank; consider that Chief Executive Magazine ranks Illinois as the third worst state in the nation for doing business. In other words, the policy wonks at the Tax Foundation have a better view of Illinois' economy than the people making real world decisions on where to locate a business.
These companies are leaving not just because of the bad policies in Illinois but also because our state's leaders continue to refuse to do anything to address our state's poor business climate. Business leaders have long pointed out the need for a reduced regulatory environment in Illinois. They have also pointed out the need for workers' compensation reform and to at a minimum stop making concessions every legislative session to the trial bar.
