"As state leaders, of course we want to stimulate job growth, but
there is a difference between wanting change, and presenting a
detailed account on how those changes will be made," said Bomke.
"The governor did present some interesting ideas and address some
old issues, but I think that there was a lack of explanation as to
how these programs would be implemented, not to mention funded."
Bomke was pleased to note that Gov.
Blagojevich presented a more positive attitude toward businesses in
Illinois, but the senator commented that there was still work to be
done in rebuilding the state's business community, job market and
economy.

"In some ways the governor ignored some
important problems facing the state right now," he said. "Illinois
leaders are expected to be presented with an estimated $2 billion
budget deficit, and businesses continue to move from Illinois to
more business-friendly states. I'm glad that he is embracing a
kindler, gentler approach toward Illinois industry, but at this
stage we need serious action to rebuild Illinois' business community
and restore the state's economy."
