Billions in Tax Revenue Lost Every Year Due to Illinois’ Anemic Economic Growth – Wirepoints wirepoints.org/estimating-th…
"It's Orwell Come to Life" - Reading Through Pritzker's "Project 2029" A... youtu.be/x4QSAnRxWb0?si=ilLR… via @YouTube
Pritzker is most likely Democratic nominee for president, says veteran Dem strategist James Carville: youtu.be/62fMDWn6DnY?si=9GHl…
This one chart shows you all you need to know about why Illinois taxes are so high. The state budget explodes every year, far beyond inflation, jumping $15 billion since 2019, despite no population growth. #Illinois
Go down his list of policies… Gov. Pritzker is out of sync with what Illinoisans and Americans nationwide want.

Chicago crime is low? Tell that to the thousands of victims.
And why does Chicago keep leading the nation in total murders each year, for 13 years in a row? Via @Wirepoints on @AM560TheAnswer's @MorningAnswer

The homicide problem is not red state vs. blue state, but rather red city vs. blue city.
The vast majority of America's homicide hotspots are run by blue leadership and it's been so for decades. See graphic below. Via @Wirepoints

Lost in the gerrymandering mess is how Illinois' Congressional representation has collapsed – from 25 in 1950 to 16 projected in 2030.
And how Texas (22 to 42) and Florida's (8 to 32) have spiked.
Pritzker's hypocrisy is digging a bigger hole for IL.
