JB talking some sense before he became a Democrat politician.
Rare footage of JB Pritzker telling the truth.

Illinois school districts are clamoring for more money – with billions in bond and tax hike referendums on the November ballots – but they already have more than enough. Illinois ranks 8th-highest in the nation for revenues per student at $26,200 (local, state and federal dollars). That's far higher than in neighboring states. Here are some of the biggest asks on November's ballots: 1) Algonquin-area D300: $356M 2) Oswego: $317M 3) District 214: $295M 4) St. Charles: $282.5M 5) Champaign: $192M And Lake County has a 1% sales-tax-hike proposal ($122M a year) Get engaged. Know what's on your ballot before you vote. Via @Fight4Illinois #twill @ILGOP @Illinoisdems

Incredible! Illinois just passed a huge threshold from the 2017 income tax hike. $80B in hiked income taxes ~$90B: 75 tax hikes since 2019 $30B+ in COVID bailouts $200B more AND we STILL have the USA’s lowest state bond rating? How is this possible? pritzker-tax-meter.bmcosti.c…

Two shot, one critically, on Chicago CTA bus in Englewood afternoon rush hour. A 57-year-old man is fighting for his life in critical condition and a 65-year-old woman was wounded after gunfire erupted during an altercation aboard a CTA bus in the 300 block of West 63rd Street around 4:40p.m. This latest incident comes amid growing frustration from residents and critics who argue that Mayor Brandon Johnson and city Democrats remain out of touch, continuing to claim the CTA is safe while passengers face rising violence during their daily commutes.

You can tell me and everyone else that you’re not a socialist Lt. Governor Stratton... BUT if the policies you keep advocating move government toward more control over healthcare, the economy, businesses and the decisions people would typically make for themselves... I’m going to call that philosophy what I believe it is. SOCIALISM! We can argue about the label but I’d much rather debate the policies. Hope you're ready to.

Power. Money. Control. That’s what Jackson Potter and the CTU protect by fighting educational choice. Parents deserve the power to choose. Break the monopoly. My prediction: Pritzker opts in only after half of Democratic governors do. Likely en mass after the election.
I just wrote a @theactionnet letter to @GovPritzker to fully fund schools not undermine them with federal vouchers designed to destroy public education as we know it. Write one here: actionnetwork.org/letters/no…

I tend to simply disagree with Democrats. Socialism, however, is my enemy #1. There is a BIG difference.

Illinois school districts have put a whopping $2.1 B in bond referendums on the Nov. 3 ballot. With interest, that’s nearly $4 billion in total cost to taxpayers. Add the other sales-tax and rate hike referendums, and local governments want billions more. Most voters don’t even know these questions are on the ballot. At Fight for Illinois, we compiled the referendums from all over the state and how much it's going to cost taxpayers. Share this with people who think Illinois doesn't have a tax problem. fightforillinois.org/data/il… #twill @ILGOP @Illinoisdems

I said this 13 years ago! Barron's financial magazine had a chart showing Chicago had more debt to revenue than Detroit at the time of Detroit's bankruptcy. You and your Democrat colleagues said NOTHING. Now, you act like this is new news.
Chicago's pensions are doing worse than Detroit when they filed for bankruptcy in 2013. Let that sink in. Detroit's pensions were between 60 and 80% funded when they filed for bankruptcy in 2013. Chicago’s pension funds are at 28% and a law passed in 2025 is projected to drop Chicago's fire and police pension funds to under 18%. As mayor, I'll work to save our workers’ pensions before it’s too late. #chicago

Time to vote for a Republican in your IL House and IL Senate races...
ICYMI We now know for certain that Illinois lawmakers are passing hundreds of bills completely blind to the taxpayer cost. Out of 856 bills passed by the state legislature and sent to @GovPritzker, just 5 included a "fiscal note" estimating the financial impact. Lawmakers are intentionally utilizing a loophole to hide the true cost of their policymaking decisions. Your taxes burden is increasing because Springfield is endlessly spending while refusing to look at the receipts. This explains a lot. illinoispolicy.org/illinois-…
