Review of Illinois, Illinois

treats its retirees well
Star Rating - 9/4/2012
Retired, long term resident who hates hot weather. Taxes are good here for retirees. No retirement income of any kind is subject to income tax. Sales tax on food/prescription meds 1 percent. Property taxes a bit high but state/local generous with exemptions for Seniors. Lots of stuff in lots of price ranges to do in the Chicago metro area where I live. Tuition free classes at community colleges.Politics are no worse at the local level than anywhere else.
