Veto Session Begins Next Week

Veto Session is NEXT WEEK!

Here's what we're expecting in Springfield

• Budget Concerns: Democrats may take up measures to address potential shortfalls in the state budget. Since taking office, Governor Pritzker has increased state spending by roughly 40% and signed the largest budget in Illinois history ($55.2 billion) in July.

• New Democratic Proposals: There's talk of proposals to mandate voting for all eligible voters and to change when and how local elections are conducted across the state. Democrats are also floating a proposal to create a new service tax that would add taxes to more than 80 everyday services such as haircuts, vehicle repairs, dry cleaning, and so much more.

• What SHOULD be discussed (but most likely wont be):

-Meaningful tax relief for families and small businesses

-An end to the state's failed sanctuary policies

-Reforming the broken SAFE-T Act to restore public safety

-Ethics reform to finally tackle the decades of corruption in state government

Illinois families deserve better. I'll continue fighting for what matters to you!
