Chicago, IL – Today, JB Pritzker released the following statement in response to Bruce Rauner failing to pass a budget during regular legislative session:

“For 700 days, Bruce Rauner has held Illinois hostage to force his radical and deeply misguided agenda on our state,” said JB Pritzker. “With the conclusion of regular legislative session today, it is all but certain Rauner’s manufactured crisis will continue for another year. Our economy, social service agencies, schools, and families continue to suffer untold damage at Rauner’s expense, as he works to shift blame at every turn. It is abundantly clear that Illinois will need new leadership to clean up Rauner’s mess. I stand ready to work with families across this state to bring people together, pass a budget, and get Illinois back on track.”
