State Senator Neil Anderson (R-Andalusia) has issued the following statement after Illinois Democrats passed the largest budget in Illinois history, totaling over $55 billion:
“While Illinois families are cutting back to survive, Democrats just pushed through a $55 billion spending plan, the largest in state history. Worse yet, it comes with nearly a billion dollars in new tax hikes. The budget will mark a nearly 40% increase in state spending since Governor Pritzker took office.
“Our state is already one of the most overtaxed in the nation, yet instead of providing relief to working families and small businesses, Democrats chose greed over responsibility. The result? Businesses are closing. Families are fleeing. And Springfield’s insiders keep cashing in while the rest of us pay the price. This isn’t leadership, it’s exploitation. It’s economic warfare against the very people they claim to serve.”
