This week, Governor JB Pritzker delivered his annual State of the State and Budget Address to a joint session of the Illinois Senate and House of Representatives. The address is a constitutional requirement for the governor.
State Representative Ryan Spain responded to the speech, describing it as highly political. He suggested that the address seemed more focused on national issues than those specific to Illinois, implying that it reflects Pritzker's potential presidential aspirations.
Spain commented on some of the challenges facing Illinois, such as population decline, high taxes, and slow economic growth. He stated, "While Illinois faces significant challenges like population loss, high taxes, and a lack of economic growth, we continue to spend more and more: that’s the record Pritzker will have to reconcile."
For further details on Representative Spain's remarks regarding the recent address, additional information is available.
