The denizens of 33 counties in Illinois have indicated a
serious interest in seceding from Illinois and blending into Indiana.
They appear to be fed up with both the fiscal bullshit and political
bullshit endemic in Illinois and do not wish to move, so.......
A
bill to allow this is already moving thru the Indiana legislature.
Tens of thousands of people have actually moved from Illinois to Indiana
in the last few years. So far Illinois does not seem to be interested
in letting these counties go, as they are largely populated by people
who have actual job, pay actual taxes and mostly stay out of jail and
prison.
Such things are not
unknown and has been done before. A whole new state has been created
previously from both New York and Virginia, though neither within the
last 160 years or so. Minor border adjustments are done all the time,
mostly due to improved surveying techniques or rivers moving their
banks.
