ILLINOIS REPUBLICAN PARTY
— 6/5/24 PRESS RELEASE: This Isn’t the First Time Democrats Raised Taxes CHICAGO — Today, JB Pritzker signed legislation that pushed a BILLION dollars in new taxes onto Prairie State residents. Without billions in federal assistance, Governor Pritzker signed the largest tax-and-spend bill in Illinois HISTORY and is making you and your families pay for it. Unfortunately, this isn’t the first time. . .”Illinois Democrats’ bloated budget, which is filled with hundreds-of-millions of dollars of new tax increases for pet projects, illegal immigrants and his socialist agenda, is bad for Illinois,” said Illinois Republican Party Chairman Don Tracy. “Illinois families are dealing with Bidenflation, higher prices and more financial problems than ever before and Democrats’ solution is to take even more of their money. Pritzker needs to stop treating taxpayers as his personal piggy bank as he dreams of running for President and of being the far-left’s tax-and-spend darling.”

CHICAGO TRIBUNE
— FRONT PAGE TOP OF FOLD: Judge rules unconstitutional Gov. J.B. Pritzker-backed election law that aided Democrats in November. – RICK PEARSON (COMMENT: U.S. President was the only contested race on the Republican primary ballot in my precinct. One office on the ballot would have been “no candidate” if it had not been filled by a write-in candidate.  As Democrat leaders ever-increasingly flood Illinois with voters who have demographics that vote for Democrats, anticipate/expect that because the likelihood of winning is less, fewer candidates will run for offices as Republicans and those who do run will be less qualified for the offices that they seek. Further, anticipate/expect that Republican leaders will ever-increasingly encourage only those who are the following to run: non-conservative, minority, female, younger, veteran, non-Protestant, non-German America, and/or those whose ancestors have not been in America for a long time. Therefore, anticipate/expect that Republican organizations will ever-increasingly run candidates.)

(COMMENT: When you were young, what opportunities were you given? Starting in grade school, I knew that I wanted to earn a college degree and that because my parents lacked money, I would have to work my way through college. I was given the following opportunities and I took them a) I did yard work 1962-1964, b) I delivered newspapers 1962-1966, c) I washed dishes 1964-1966, d) I cleaned golf shoes, chipped slag, and pumped gasoline in 1966, e) I delivered mail 1966-1969, and f) I worked on an automobile assembly line in 1970. Because I took the aforesaid opportunities, I was able to and I did a) buy a 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air in 1964, b) buy a new 1966 Pontiac Tempest Sprint in 1966, c) pay for my UIC expenses 1966-1968, d) buy a new 1968 Oldsmobile 442 in 1967, e) buy a new 1969 Dodge Charger SE in 1968, f) pay for my NIU expenses 1969-1970, and g) graduate debt-free from NIU in 1970 with a bachelor’s degree in management and owning that Charger.)

Neither of my parents attended college. I had to work my way through college. In today’s dollars, my father never earned more than $50,000/year. He almost always worked second jobs to pay the family’s bills. My mother never attended high school. She stayed home and raised my brother and me.)
