3. You can put the popcorn away, Cons already hate Illinois.

We are the butt of every Conservative joke. Cons have been predicting a state-wide meltdown like that of Detroit because of our liberalism. Downstate Cons have been threatening to secede from the state to get away from Chicago (ignoring that Chicago is what generates all of Illinois' revenue). Cons joke that Chicago is the gun murder capital of America (its not), and that there is a raging violence problem (half-true). To say nothing of the state's debt woes and 30+ years of Republican and Democratic screw-ups with our pensions.

My point is, Cons already hate Illinois for a variety of reasons to hate Illinois and treat us like trash. This bill will do nothing to change that.
