After the end of legislative veto session today in the Illinois House of Representatives, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie issued the following statement:
“Today, we witnessed yet another relentless barrage of partisan hypocrisy, filled with finger-pointing at the federal government instead of confronting the many important issues at home. While Illinois families are struggling with soaring costs and growing distrust in their leaders, Illinois Democrats are wasting time and taxpayer dollars to play political games.
“With only four legislative days remaining, Speaker Welch and the House Democrats are negotiating tax hikes and a new green energy giveaway package behind closed doors, while play acting on the House floor to distract from it.
“It’s time to put Illinois first and deliver solutions concerning skyrocketing energy costs, public safety, and to overall relief to the families who need it most.”
