“I am disappointed to see the Governor sign a budget that
includes the most spending in state history and temporary relief
for Illinoisans struggling to keep up with surging inflation and
out-of-control taxes.
“Our state had a rare chance this year to provide meaningful and
long-lasting tax relief to the people of our state, which is why
I supported the Senate Republicans’ plan that created $2.2
billion in permanent tax relief. However, when it came time to
helping our constituents get through this financially difficult
time, the Majority Party decided to continue its spending spree
and offer election-year tax gimmicks.”
