The true impact of Democrats' agenda

In response to Larry Williams' letter titled "Finally, Illinois is getting things done," the title should actually be "Illinois is done."

I must live in a different Illinois than Mr. Williams. In my state, the Democrats having controlled the state for years, have underfunded pensions, presided over exploding real estate and sales taxes, weakened crime prevention and sentencing and driven thousands of citizens annually from living in what was once, a great place to live.

Let's not forget the Pat Quinn and Mike Madigan gerrymandered election map that further weakened many voters' ability to elect their chosen representatives.

In his first disastrous year, Mike Madigan's hand-picked governor has legalized marijuana, expanded gambling and loosened restrictions allowing abortion up to live birth. Great priorities to fix Illinois.

He also sold his false fair tax rate narrative at the very same time he steps on the working class by greatly raising gas taxes, the cost of an Illinois driver's license and vehicle tag fees.

Gov. Pritzker has shown he is not concerned with the working people in Illinois.
