This has been so deeply politicized in Illinois the last gubernatorial candidates for the Republicans have propagandized the subject so fiercely in Illinois that nuanced debate is nearly impossible. I say this as a person who lives outside Chicago in the same region as one of those rightwing candidates and between McHenry Times rag and the absurd signage leading up to the election it was exhausting and consistenly done in bad faith. This article is an opinion on a right wing bias site that is promoting a key right wing political talking point, so no I do not trust that OP is even working in good faith. This isn't HN, this is something else.
