A recent report from the Brookings Institution found that Illinois is one of the states losing the most residents, based on the U.S. Census’ latest population and migration numbers.

Saya Hillman joins us to reflect on staying-and leaving-Illinois, and we take your calls on what would make you migrate out the Land of Lincoln. (Flickr/Marco Varisco)
