QUICK HIT: Illinois Is A Fiscal Mess
Instead of putting thought and effort into actually fixing the plethora of problems that face the state, government on every level thinks that just spending more money will make things better.
There are at least 51 binding referenda on taxes or bond issues across Illinois and at least 53 ballot questions related to property taxes, sales taxes and incurring bond debt.
At least the voters will have a direct say, but that depends on whether or not they are being sold these proposals honestly.

ELECTION RACE PROFILE: Nabeela Syed
The picture and quote was taken from Syed’s Facebook.
She honors Women’s History Month when her Muslim religion doesn’t honor women.
Syed is a current state rep now running for state senate against Darby Hills. Like most politicians, she speaks out of both sides of her mouth. She got elected to the House by relentlessly knocking on doors – her hard work paid off in 2022 when she first got elected in a district centered around Palatine.

QUICK HIT: Illinois Dems Are Stunningly Incompetent
Even though Illinois tax rates continue to break unflattering records, BILLIONS of dollars in tax revenue are lost every year under Pritzker Democrats due to their reckless policies that cripple the state’s economic growth.

QUICK HIT: Only One Debate
Lt. Governor Juliana Stratton has been in hiding and wants to quietly sneak into the United States Senate without even attempting to defend her co-conspiring reign under JB Pritzker or offer up any fresh, intelligent, inspiring ideas for Illinois voters.
During the one and only debate she agreed to (on PUBLIC TELEVISION station WTTW) against her Republican opponent, Don Tracy, her sole pathetic strategy was to bash President Trump and promise to ‘keep him in check’.

QUICK HIT: UNCOVERED
More Illinois Government Fraud
A former state of Illinois subcontractor, Andrea Wellington, 35, has been charged with orchestrating a fraud scheme to steal $4.7 MILLION in unemployment benefits at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time, she was simply a customer service representative responsible for handling calls from people seeking unemployment benefits, but she clearly saw a bigger opportunity, and now she’s being charged with 21 counts of wire fraud.

QUICK HITS: This Is Just Common Sense, Governor Pritzker
If you weren’t so beholden to the teachers’ unions and blinded by your hatred for President Trump, you might be able to see straight.
Even New York Governor Kathy Hochul has enough sense to opt their state into the Federal Education Freedom Tax Credit program. The program allows for private donations of up to $1,700 per person ($3,400 for married couples) that, according to the Illinois Policy Institute, could unlock up to $1 BILLION for Illinois students.

Truth in Accounting Report: Financial State of the States 2026, page 11
Just in time, Truth in Accounting released its annual report on how fiscally sound each state is, based on comprehensive financial reporting from fiscal year 2025.
The report’s central question answered is how much debt to assets a state has. As the saying goes – debt is the sign of taxes unseen – or something like that.
