Governor DeSantis and Governor Pritzker each just signed their 8th state budgets. The contrast couldn't be starker. And the lesson is that who you elect matters. Change out the politicians and you get different policies.
For reference, Florida is 1.8x more populous than IL, 23.37m people compared to 12.71m people. Now consider these points:
1. FL general revenue budget is $52B, IL is $56B. Because state's have different ways of budgeting, lookimg at the total FY27 budgets, FL =$117B, IL=$130B. This doesn't make sense.
2. Pritzker advocated for and signed the largest budget in state history this year and in previous years. DeSantis has lowered the amount spent every year for the last four years and vetoed over $10B in spending during his time in office. Pritzker's budget is up $16B since he took office.
3. Pritzker brags about his credit upgrades, but IL has the worst state credit rating, FL has the best credit rating.
4. FL has a rainy day fund of $18B. IL rainy day fund is $2B.
5. FL is pushing $78B in road programs and moving planned projects ahead 5-15 years. IL can't even get projects planned, permitted and built in a timely manner, so many projects are left undone and money sits in an account collecting interest. And now that surplus interest is being sent to the CTA to bail them out.
6. DeSantis has given back over $9B in taxes. Pritzker has raised taxes every year for a total of over $77B according to IPI.
9. FL is giving $5,000 signing bonuses for police officers. IL politicians want to defund the police.
10. FL is on the cusp of eliminating property taxes for 60% of home owners and they have no state income tax. IL has the highest property taxes, plus individial income and estate taxes, high corporate taxes, and there's been no attempt to meaningfully lower property taxes.
Yes, elections have consequences. But, it can all ve reversed. DeSantis barely got elected 8 years ago. Your vote matters.

Reminder that no one is banned from playing sports but rather limited to playing in the category that aligns with their sex. Dishonest hacks.

Last night, we learned that three wildland firefighters—serving with the U.S. Forest Service and the U.S. Wildland Fire Service—lost their lives on Saturday, June 27, while responding jointly to the Knowles and Gore fires along the Colorado-Utah border.

Additionally, two wildland firefighters were injured in the line of duty and have been transported to a hospital.

This is terrible news and a reminder of what our first responders risk every time they go out to prevent devastation and protect Americans from natural disasters.

Our immediate focus is on supporting their families, friends, and fellow crewmates during this incredibly difficult time.

The USDA and Interior family mourns with them and offers our unwavering support for the loved ones left behind.

We are continuing to pray for their families and loved ones. May God bring them peace during this time.

Their bravery, dedication, and sacrifice will never be forgotten.

Additional details will be shared as they become available.

OMG. Employees at a Starbucks in St. Louis were FIRED after they fought off robbers who assaulted them.

Both robbers were later convicted and jailed.

Why were these employees fired @starbucks?!?!

@GuntherEagleman @GovPritzker As a Packers fan I despise Da Bears because of Illinois. I might reconsider The Gary Bears.😁
