I looked up the article on this one.

As per the norm of your columns accuracy: Illinois is #4 not #3.

And it easily should be #1.

Ray your WRONG, Again!
ALASKA and PENNSYLVANIA tied for second place, make Illinois third place.

4. Illinois — high property taxes and high unemployment
2. Alaska (tie) — high cost-of-living and harsh climate
2. Pennsylvania (tie) — low life expectancy and tough economy
1. Michigan — harsh weather and a tough economic climate

If there is a tie, I guess there is a disagreement as to whether the next place is 3rd or 4th, but funny thing.

THEY MARKED IT 4th. Oh ...
