State Senator Neil Anderson has issued the following statement following the Budget Address by Governor Pritzker Wednesday:
“The Governor’s address today shows just how disconnected he is with the residents of this state. While he touts a ‘fiscally responsible’ budget, what he failed to mention was the $2.5 billion government expansion, which will fall on the back of hard-working Illinoisans once the Biden Bucks run out. Until we can provide long-term solutions for tax relief, enact policies that support our law enforcement, and build a government people can trust and rely on, we will continue to see Illinois families struggle and people leaving the state.”
