Disturbing New report: Data centers linked to premature death. New research finds that data centers emit nitrogen dioxide and tiny, inhalable particles that can harm people’s lungs, even causing premature deaths.

The new mega-Project bill that JB Pritzker and Democrats pushed through a committee to incentivize the Chicago Bears and greatly expand the number of data centers in Illinois, could have major consequences on your ability to breathe, in addition to causing your property taxes to skyrocket.

According to a report by FOX 59:

”The report was compiled by Community & Environmental Defense Services (CEDS) founder and president Richard Klein, who has been working in development-related concerns for 40 years. Klein found that a single data center could pose negative health risks for people living at least 0.6 miles away, sometimes further.”

Pour RV antifreeze (PINK, non-toxic) into all drains before a freeze. Toilets, sinks, tubs, floor drains - the water in P-traps can freeze and crack pipes. One frozen P-trap = $500-2,000 repair.

CRITICAL: Only use PINK RV/Marine antifreeze. NEVER green automotive antifreeze - it's toxic and will contaminate your plumbing.

Insane: The owners Illinois’ house from the “Home Alone” movie will pay nearly $52,000 in property taxes this year –

……This is about $20,000 more than the owners paid four years ago

Macaulay Culkin (Kevin) defended the house from the “Wet Bandits,” but now a different group is the villain - IL politicians who continue to raise taxes

Illinois property taxes are getting out of control thanks to Illinois Democrats!
