FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Springfield, IL…Governor Pritzker once again touted Democrat policies and how they are making Illinois great for families and businesses. His State of The State Address focused on everything except real issues facing Illinois. State Representative Chris Miller (R-Hindsboro) is not surprised by the lies told during Pritzker’s speech at the Illinois Capitol.
“It’s the same old story with Pritzker and the Democrats, they support woke ideologies and the notion of creating a welfare state for illegals,” said Rep. Miller. “Illinois residents deserve truth, logic, and commonsense from the Governor of Illinois.”
Last year, Democrats ignored warnings about making long-term spending promises with one-time federal aid. Now that those funds are gone, the state faces a projected shortfall. We cannot afford any more flawed budgets. It’s time for a responsible, transparent state budget with no new taxes on our residents.
The 2024 Budget & State of The State Address is supposed to offer transparency to Illinois residents. Unfortunately, Governor Pritzker continues to fail everyone in Illinois, except for criminals and illegal immigrants. Sadly, we are looking at another year of the Democrat’s agenda of Illinois last.
Rep. Miller continued: “This budget is the largest we have seen, and it’s grown by $17 Billion since I took office. Democrats are spending more money and Illinois is losing more corporations, more population, and energy independence has been erased.”
