ILGOP Chairman Don Tracy released the following statement in response to Governor JB Pritzker signing the state budget this morning:
“This Pritzker-Democrat budget has record spending, insulting temporary election-year gimmicks, and pay raises for politicians – all while ComEd files to raise rates on hard-working families and businesses using Pritzker’s energy tax law. What Pritzker’s budget doesn’t do is give permanent tax relief to overtaxed Illinoisans, fully replenish the unemployment trust fund, or construct a path to budget stability for when the federal bailout cash runs out soon. Pritzker approved a cynical budget that positions Democrats to push for tax hikes in the future and attempts to buy votes instead of providing financial stewardship and meaningful tax relief to working families.”
