Since last year's election and former Governor Rod
Blagojevich's arrest and indictment, Illinois Democrats have promised
us that they would start getting serious about ethics reform in state
government. Yet, with the end of the spring legislative session now in
sight, nothing has been done to clean up state politics. Sadly, we may
have been asking too much to expect the same people who supported and
endorsed Rod Blagojevich to now reform the same corrupt system that
they participated in for over six years.
With Illinois in the middle
of a recession and facing a 12 billion dollar budget deficit, the
only solution that Illinois Democrats want to offer is to raise our
income taxes while they raise their own salaries.
If we really want to get
serious about reforming Illinois politics and bringing jobs back
to Illinois, we need to get rid of Blagojevich Democrats like Kathy Ryg,
and replace them with legislators who believe in smaller, honest government
and pro-growth policies that will bring businesses and jobs back to Illinois.
