Editorial: Governor’s cuts get frosty welcome from taxpayers – Alton Telegraph

"All of Pritzker’s political instincts are averse to budget reductions. He wants to spend more, not less. That’s why he will inevitably propose more tax increases. His party certainly has the votes for that, but the question is whether enough of these always-tax-averse legislators have the will to follow Pritzker’s lead."

The Unions are too powerful. Time to bust them up.
