State Representative Kevin Schmidt from Millstadt has responded to Governor JB Pritzker's State of the State and Budget Address, which was presented to the General Assembly. Rep. Schmidt expressed his concerns about the proposed budget, highlighting its size and potential impact on taxpayers.
Rep. Schmidt stated, "I stand firmly to support no tax hikes to supplement the proposed revenue hikes included in the largest proposed budget in Illinois history that is nearly a $2 billion dollar increase." He criticized what he described as "reckless spending and high taxes," which he believes are causing residents to leave Illinois for other states.
He emphasized his readiness to work on a budget aimed at economic growth, reducing government waste, lowering taxes, and retaining families within Illinois. "No matter who the Governor tries to blame for our problems, they will not go away if we keep down this path of reckless fiscal policy," said Rep. Schmidt.
