Senate Minority Leader Dan McConchie (R-Hawthorn Woods) issued the following statement after Governor Pritzker signed an election-year state budget:
“This budget is nothing more than a campaign tool for Pritzker and the Democratic Party. Providing one-time checks to people in the mail right before their names appear on the ballot and expire right after the Election is a disgrace. And then, to also force gas stations and grocery stores to post signs that tout their short-term ‘tax relief’ just shows how desperate they are to win over Illinoisans. Nobody will be fooled by their gamesmanship.”
