Pritzker Budget Facts: Illinois’ Worst in Nation Fiscal Reality – Americans for Prosperity

Deputy State Director Brian Costin said, in part, Illinois is a case study in fiscal failure and has held the lowest bond rating of any state for more than a decade. After eight years under Governor Pritzker, Illinoisans have learned to be skeptical of his budget promises, because the fine print has meant higher taxes, more borrowing, and less transparency.”

JB can’t propose a transparent budget, including public pension debt, because he’ll look incompetent and may expose IL fraud. After all, he wants to run for president and it won look good.

What’s more disturbing about his balanced budgets is he’s so proud of himself thinking he’s doing a great job.

It seems like the Quinn years were so long ago and nirvana for IL by Pritzker standards.

Gov Pritzker never allows truth to get in the way of his presidential ambitions.

The fine print shows us what a lying gas bag some people thought would make a good governor and re elected him to boot.
