The Governor’s Office of Management and Budget (GOMB) recently painted a rosy picture of Illinois’ fiscal health while simultaneously spending billions on Democrat pork projects and ignoring the growing Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund deficit which inches closer to $5 billion every day. Under Pritzker’s leadership, $4.8 billion of the state’s $8.1 billion allocation of the newly enacted American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds have been earmarked towards items ranging from democratic pet projects to allowing the Governor to use a budget sleight of hand to pay off the debt that the state never needed to borrow in the first place. Democrats in Illinois have effectively dedicated 60% of our total ARPA funds in the first fiscal year, despite the fact that these lifeline federal funds are intended to last us until the end of 2024.
Sign this petition HERE to tell Governor Pritzker to stop the ARPA spending spree: job creators and workers can’t afford another tax increase to fund democrat pet projects!
