Pritzker Promises Affordability, Delivers the Opposite. In yet another lie, Governor JB Pritzker told reporters Wednesday that Democrats have been “delivering for the people” of Illinois. But the actions taken by the Governor and his allies in the General Assembly prove the opposite.
During a media availability, Pritzker said: “I think that is what the Democratic Party is all about, delivering for the people. And here in Illinois, we’ve been doing that, I’ve been doing that for the last several years.”
In reality, during veto session, Pritzker and legislative Democrats passed a $8 billion “Green New Giveaway” that will drive up energy costs for families, and a $2.5 billion Chicago Transit bailout that raises taxes and hikes tolls by 60%.
To his credit, Governor Pritzker has delivered, just not in the way Illinois families hoped. Under his leadership, Illinois ranks:
- #1 Highest Property Taxes
- #1 Highest Combined State & Local Taxes
- #1 Highest Cell Phone Tax
While the Governor talks about affordability, his record shows rising costs, higher taxes, and fewer opportunities for working families.
