Smiddy: Illinois not bad for business
State must promote itself, lawmaker says
STERLING – Illinois needs to do a better job promoting itself to businesses, a state lawmaker said Tuesday.
Rep. Mike Smiddy, D-Hillsdale, told a local audience that Illinois has the highest output for goods of any Midwestern state, adding that the state is “by no means raking in money and bringing in businesses.”
“Illinois is not bad for a business climate,” said Smiddy, who spoke at the Illinois Education Association hall in Sterling.
