SPRINGFIELD – Following today’s State of the State Address, State Representative Jed Davis (R-Yorkville) released the following statement:
“Another year, another budget address filled with fiction. The Governor claims Illinois has a balanced budget, but the reality is we’re staring at a massive deficit—and taxpayers are once again left holding the bag for Springfield’s reckless spending. Words don’t balance budgets, responsible leadership does.
“For too long, a select few have crafted the budget behind closed doors, shutting out the voices of taxpayers and their representatives. These antics must end. Every legislator should have a seat at the table so we may craft an accountable and transparent budget, working for all the people of Illinois.
“But let’s be clear—the most alarming part of today’s address wasn’t just the bad math, it was the outright dangerous rhetoric. The Governor comparing everyday Americans concerned about border security to Nazis is appalling. It’s reckless, divisive, and frankly beneath the office he holds. Illinoisans deserve better.
“So here’s my challenge to the majority party: less political theater, more real solutions. We’re ready to work—are you?”
