Federal funding wouldn't stop. But shared state tax revenue from Chicago would
The federal funding is provided to the state of Illinois, so the counties need the state treasury to provide federal funding to them.
If they were granted secession by the federal Congress they would be a state and get federal funding. That's the only way they'd leave.
Yes but that circumstance could happen regardless of actions taken by the state of Illinois so it doesn't have any impact on the plans I laid out.
