The Illinois Attorney General isn't just a legal representative; the office is the voice of the people in every criminal case. The AG has a duty to ensure justice is served statewide, upholding the law for all. #IllinoisLaw #CriminalJustice @Bobfiorettichi @JacketNation

The Attorney General's power exists to serve the people of Illinois, not any political figure. Their mandate is your rights and safety. Start the full course here: https://t.co/qykeY3TOn4 #Illinois #Government #CivicDuty #Law @BobFiorettiChi @notguiltyCHI

AG's duty is to the law, not the government. FOID card case: if unconstitutional, AG must challenge it in court, not defend it. Follow Fioretti: https://t.co/i2wXD3Iq3y #ConstitutionalLaw #SecondAmendment #FOIDCard #Illinois #Legal @BobFiorettiChi #2A @DarrenBaileyIL

Illinois AG's duties questioned: Why not challenge Kim Foxx's $1000 retail theft threshold? The law says $300 is a felony. Was the AG a puppet? Visit https://t.co/i2wXD3Iq3y #IllinoisPolitics #KimFoxx #ProsecutorialDiscretion #AGRaoul #LawAndOrder @BobFiorettiChi @ChicagoREDP

What does an Attorney General *really* do? It's not who you think. Loyalty to the people, not just the president. Constitutional Foundations: https://t.co/qykeY3TOn4 #Politics #Law #USPolitics #Government #Civics @BobFiorettiChi @ChicagoREDP

The Illinois Attorney General's powers mirror those of the King of England's attorney in 1776, wielding common law authority for the people, not the governor or state. Fioretti for Illinois AG: https://t.co/i2wXD3Iq3y #Illinois @BobFiorettiChi @RichardEHagen1

Now that the smoke and mirrors have cleared from yet another disastrous legislative session, Illinoisans deserve a clear-eyed assessment of how deeply broken state government has become.

Leaving aside the fumble on the Bears stadium situation, we should take one train wreck at a time.

Illinois Democrats will describe this budget as “fiscally responsible.” The facts tell a very different story.

This year’s budget passed at $56 billion. When JB Pritzker and Kwame Raoul assumed power, the state budget was just over $36 billion. In eight years, that is a 55.6% increase. That is not fiscal responsibility. It is runaway government growth.

Illinois Democrats also claim this budget helps working families. That is a cruel joke. Since taking office, Pritzker and Raoul have supported or presided over dozens of tax and fee increases, every single one of them targeted at working families.

In 2019, they raised the gas tax by more than 20 cents per gallon and built in automatic annual increases without requiring a new vote. Now, they are bragging about pausing a mere 1.6 cents of that increase, as though they are doing us a favor.

This budget also reflects a troubling set of priorities. It spends $146 million more for services connected to illegal immigrants, adding to the billions already spent.

This state government continues to prioritize criminals over victims, teachers unions over parents, and greedy utility companies over consumers (surely the millions of dollars of campaign contributions from utility companies and teachers unions are simply a coincidence).

It does not have to be this way.

Illinois needs an Attorney General who will stand with working families, protect victims, challenge corruption, confront special interests, and fight for you.

For a change.

Election oversight is the AG's duty. Pre-filled voter forms to non-citizens create a pathway for unlawful registration and election fraud. Constitutional Foundations: https://t.co/qykeY3TOn4 #IllinoisPolitics #VoterRegistration #ElectionIntegrity @BobFiorettiChi @CoVet_81

[David Shestokas @shestokas]

Illinois' Attorney General has a constitutional duty to oversee state agencies, enforce election law, and review contracts. No public record shows Attorney General Raoul reviewed or approved mailing voter registration materials to non-citizens. #ElectionLaw @BobFiorettiChi

[David Shestokas @shestokas]

The Attorney General's power isn't new laws, it's enforcing the ones already here. Illinois Constitution has the authority. Follow: https://t.co/i2wXD3Iq3y #IllinoisPolitics #Government #LawEnforcement #CivicDuty #Constitution @BobFiorettiChi @SeanMMorrison @CWBChicago

Did you know the Illinois Constitution establishes the Attorney General's office? Its powers are defined by the Illinois Attorney General Act, outlining duties for the people of Illinois. Visit https://t.co/i2wXD3Iq3y #IllinoisPolitics #AGOffice @BobFiorettiChi @FlipChicagoRed

Secretary Giannoulias, why did Katie’s killer have a valid Illinois driver’s license while in this country illegally?

How was he approved to drive on Illinois roads?

He could not speak English or Spanish, only a remote Guatemalan K’iche’ dialect.

We even struggled to find interpreters during court proceedings.

The incompetence at all levels of governance in Illinois is staggering...

[Brian Costin @BrianCostin]

Pritzker has been governor for 2,690 days, and property taxes are $11 billion more/year than when he was sworn in.

He has done nothing to limit property taxes.
