A recent report from the Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability (CGFA) highlights Illinois' poor economic performance compared to other states. Representative Weaver expressed concern over the state's economic trajectory, attributing it to ineffective public policies.

"There’s no reason our state should be lagging the nation in any of these metrics," said Rep. Weaver. "We have the power to change the trajectory of our state by reversing the bad public policies that drive people and job creators away from Illinois."

The Illinois Research Commission has also criticized the state's economic performance, emphasizing the need for policy changes to improve conditions for residents and businesses.
