Jim Edgar
never saw a tax increase he didn’t like…He is the father of the current
retirement fund crisis…and he thinks downstate needs to do a better job in
electing our state representatives.
In an
obvious slam against Representative Darren Bailey, Edgar was asked by a TV
reporter his best advice to people supporting Illinois separation and getting
something done about the state’s miserable financial condition and bankrupt
pension system….
Edgar said,
“maybe you (meaning downstaters) don’t elect the right people.”
Really?
Edgar, the poster boy for the Illinois RINOs (Republicans in Name Only), was
personally responsible for a law which has cost the state’s taxpayers $25
billion dollars in the last 47 years by changing the pension rules for teachers
and administrators. Understand, Edgar never worked in the private sector and
makes over $300-thousand dollars a year…all from the state while retired.
He
personally endorsed David Reis against Bailey and is probably worried that his
native Coles County is about to lose a State Senate seat…a seat it has held for
over six decades.
And oh, by
the way, Edgar likes the job J. B. Pritzker has done in his first six months as
Governor. He said so in the same interview. Pritzker is responsible for $2.1
billion dollars in new taxes last month. And that’s only the beginning.
Here’s what
you simply must understand. Making deals with House Speaker Mike Madigan is
what cost David Reis his seat. Nothing happens in Illinois unless Madigan wants
it. Even Pritzker knows that.
There are
eight downstate conservatives in the House who have refused to bend to Chicago
values. That kills Democrats….and RINOs.
