[VIDEO] One aspect of my Springfield Project would likely include the Illinois State Fair in Springfield which thankfully will take place this year. There wasn't one last year because of the pandemic and I like the theme of One Illinois as announced in this report from WGN.
Illinois is a huge state and there's a lot more to the Land of Lincoln than Chicago or the Chicago area. There have been Republican proposals downstate to spin off the City of Chicago or even Cook County into its own state. It seems that's how deep the divide could be on occasion.
One way to look at this is how often do Chicagoans go into other parts of the state? How often do Chicagoans even go to Springfield to visit?
With this said I don't plan to visit the State Fair this year, however, next year is an election year. Both Republicans and Democrats will have their own rallies at the State Fair. It would be interesting what political stories come out from the Springfield Fair in 2022.
