A budget negotiated behind closed doors, rushed through in the middle of the night, is not something Democrats should celebrate.➡️ https://t.co/u8SD1097Hg #twill
Speaker Welch said House Democrats got the process done right. That process was suspending the rules to fast-track a revenue bill in the dead of night, and the finished product was $800 million in new taxes on Illinois families. That is not good process. That is just more rushed and reckless tax hikes thanks to the Democrats.
Democrats included a digital advertising tax in their latest budget, even though they do not know whether it will survive legal challenges. They are so desperate for new revenue that they are throwing taxes at the wall and hoping something sticks.
When it comes to the legislative process, House Democrats’ failed playbook delivers higher taxes, more spending, and less transparency. It is just another failed Democrat process that makes life more expensive in Illinois.
.@GovPritzker has made his priorities clear: millions for illegal immigrants while Illinois families are left behind. At a time when residents are demanding affordability and tax relief, he continues putting illegal immigrants ahead of Illinois citizens. #twill
