SPRINGFIELD, IL – Today, Gov. Pritzker delivered his combined State of the State and Budget address. Unfortunately for voters exhausted with business as usual, Rep. Lance Yednock is likely to continue his pattern of irresponsible spending.
“Lance Yednock’s record of supporting politician pay raises, tax increases on families and small businesses, and more borrowing is out of step with his district,” said Jayme Odom, executive director of the Illinois House Republican Organization. “While 76th District voters overwhelmingly rejected the Tax Hike Amendment, Rep. Yednock and his Democratic Party continue to tax, spend, repeat.”
Gov. Pritzker and House Democrats continually refuse to implement common sense fiscal reforms, instead turning to gimmicks and wishful thinking. Last year, with Rep. Yednock’s support, Democrats passed an FY21 budget billions of dollars out of balance, hoping for federal taxpayers to bail out the mismanaged state. Now that voters have made it clear they do not want and cannot afford another tax increase, will Rep. Yednock finally stand with the hardworking families of his district, or continue to align himself with the Chicago politicians supporting his campaigns?
