Illinois Senate Republican Leader John Curran (R-Downers Grove) released the following statement in response to Gov. Pritzker’s Annual Budget Address:
“The Governor just proposed raising taxes on every Illinois family struggling to make ends meet to fund the non-citizen welfare state he created. We have made it clear that the citizens of this state are our priority, while today, the Governor made it clear they’re his piggy bank. Our focus will remain on providing meaningful financial relief to the people of Illinois .”
