A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too
Vote Pritzker out of office if he runs again here he is as usual blaming somebody else for all of Springfield’s issues, malfeasance stupidity etc etc etc. Again, Donald Trump is so unpredictable it’s all his fault, so sick of hearing your same ole song and dance get the hell out of Illinois, please.
He’ll never lose. He was one of the worst (but not the worst) leaders during COVID-19 and yet he decisively won his reelection bid with the 2nd most number of votes of any gov. candidate in IL ever. The normies in my area said, “JB is doing a good job, he’s keeping us safe from COVID”. My apolitical neighbor told me that. I like my neighbor a lot but just clueless that every other state surrounding Illinois was 10x more open and had in many cases fewer covid cases.
Keeping us safe from COVID ya ok guess your neighbors are that clueless sorry to say, and yes I do agree he will never loose because there’s not one signal Republican in this state planning on running, Illinois is dead in its tracks, it’s that I just cannot stand Pritzker, such a despicable individual.
Big question for me, is Illinois ONLY state trying to make all $billions in ARPA-COVID fed spending in state budget on new hires, expanded programs, etc permanent to be paid in future budgets by tax increases on dopey taxpayers? Or are other states making cuts? What are our neighboring states doing?
