We're #2!!!-----Illinois is now the biggest food-stamp user in the Midwest

Illinois is now the biggest food-stamp user in the Midwest | Illinois Policy | An independent government watchdog:
"Illinois and Michigan have traded places on two key metrics for measuring prosperity and opportunity, and both changes are embarrassing for the Land of Lincoln.
...In March of this year, Illinois bumped off Michigan to become the Midwest’s No. 1 user of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as food stamps. 
For the past several years, Michigan had a higher percentage of its residents on food stamps than any other Midwest state.
But not anymore.
Illinois now has a higher portion of its population on food stamps than any state in the Midwest."
