CHICAGO - Governor J.B. Pritzker issued a press release Thursday laying out what he called a temporary relief plan for Illinois families struggling to make ends meet with skyrocketing inflation on groceries, gas and utilities.
The "relief" Pritzker boasts means little, if anything to the average Illinoisan, one family group leader told Illinois Review.
"Billionaire Pritzker must be tone-deaf," David E. Smith, executive director of Illinois Family Action said. "His 'temporary' relief plan does very little for working families. High taxes plus the unreasonable costs of gasoline, electricity, and groceries have all but destroyed discretionary spending."
While the majority of families in Illinois have very little in terms of saving reserves, government bureaucrats continue to demand more and more from taxpayers, Smith said.
"In fact, Pritzker is calling for a special session to discuss more money for Planned Parenthood to pay for abortions with our tax dollars. Once again, digging deeper into our pockets," he said.
