SPRINGFIELD, IL – Today, Gov. Pritzker delivered his combined State of the State and Budget address. Unfortunately for voters exhausted with business as usual, Rep. Mike Halpin is likely to continue his pattern of irresponsible spending.
“Mike Halpin’s record of supporting politician pay raises, tax increases on families and small businesses, and more borrowing is out of step with his district,” said Jayme Odom, Executive Director of the Illinois House Republican Organization. “Voters have made it clear by their rejection of the Tax Hike Amendment they do not want and cannot afford another tax increase. Will Rep. Halpin finally stand with the hardworking families of his district, or will he continue to borrow, tax, and spend without restraint?”
Gov. Pritzker and House Democrats continually refuse to implement common sense fiscal reforms, instead turning to gimmicks and wishful thinking. Last year, with Rep. Halpin’s support, Democrats passed an FY21 budget billions of dollars out of balance, hoping for federal taxpayers to bail out the mismanaged state.
