ILGOP Chair Kathy Salvi Blasts Pritzker For “Grandstanding For His 2028 Run For President”

[Music] Governor pritsker is grandstanding for his 28 2028 run for president instead of focusing on the mess that he's left with us in Illinois since he's been the governor now in his seventh budget addressed he has raised our budget by 16 billion from a $39 billion budget initially to 55 billion and we are one big hurt in Illinois our businesses are closing our taxpayers cannot take it any longer businesses are shuttering and that is why we are one of the um bottom States or one of the top states in the nation where people are fleeing to other states more business friendly and familyfriendly states and we are fighting this uh ruin that he has left us in Illinois letter has no basis remember what he did for four years he was the darling of our former President Biden and he used funds covid monies in order to uh shroud the mess that he has left us with and now president Trump in this Administration has said the line is drawn here you must be held to account for the way that you have paid and used your taxpayers funds and how has he used them one of the things has done is pay 1.6 billion in health care for illegal aliens this is not sustainable 1 point I 1.6 billion toward health care for illegal migrants and now this Administration is saying no no no no no we're going to hold you to account Governor pritsker you must answer to this President and his administration and if you just look at what his ally Brendan do Brendan Johnson mayor of the sh City of Chicago did just yesterday he issued an $830 million Bond he allowed an 830 million Bond debt which will settle our children for 30 years in the form of two billion in interest this is irresponsible leadership and it's one reason why the people of the state of Illinois are crying out for new [Music] leadership bitzer's budget plan faces a$3 billion budget deficit he has been given a blank check for the last four years now he is being held to account so instead of dealing with the problems that he and his administration has caused here in Illinois which are causing people to flee our state to neighboring states and other states he decides instead to distract ensue the federal government well I think we need to have an accounting here in Illinois we Illinois taxpayers and citizens and families we require results and while the mayor of City of Chicago is failing its residence Governor pritsker has failed the businesses and families and workers of [Music] Illinois president Trump is leading by looking where is the money going how is it being spent and this is necessary the doge is slashing government programs and the misstep spending of our taxpayers money he's holding the federal government to account and I think the same examination has to be put here in Illinois when we have students who aren't even learning in the classroom we are among the most highly paid per student public schools in this in in the country and yet the results the education of our children is falling through the cracks and this is a travesty to our children and to families who depend upon education so without any examination of of of where the money goes this governor and his administration expect a blank check and thank you to this federal government who says no no no we are not going to do that anymore you Governor priner have to be held to account for the mess that you've caused in [Music] Illinois his travel to Washington is a distraction of the mess that he's LED here in Illinois as I mentioned earlier this is his seventh budget and his budget started at 39 million it's now up to 55 million and we do not know we're going to uh how we're going to face the three billion deficit in that budget but as uh as we've learned through watching him in his endorsement of Biden and then his endorsement of uh then nominee Harris he jockeyed for the position to become the vice president he was rejected in that and I believe everything that he's doing here nationally is to posture a war a a war by the uh elected popularly elected president of the United States who is who is whose agenda he repels whose agenda he is against instead of partnering with this Administration which would be the good for all people all families and business here in Illinois he has chosen to defy that he's defying law in his uh uh he has defied Law since day one this is a sanctuary State he has caused the higher crime rates we have he has caused the uh educational mess that we have here in the city of Chicago he is not helping with Solutions here he's distracting and using his weight in Washington to posture against this President and his administration's agenda in order to catapult his own uh uh campaign for president in 2028 and it's it's this must be exposed [Music]
