Springfield, IL – In today’s State of the State address, failed Governor Bruce Rauner stuck to his same tired talking points, doubling down on his factual, fiscal, and fatal mismanagement of the state. In response, JB Pritzker released the following statement:

“After three years of crisis, broken promises, and statewide damage, Bruce Rauner failed to tell you the real state of the state,” said JB Pritzker. “Today, we saw a failed governor double down on his fatal mismanagement of the Quincy Veterans’ crisis, promise a balanced budget when he has failed to deliver one for the last three years, and tout education reform he twice vetoed. Bruce Rauner is right about one thing – we need to come together as a state, but not to pass his failed agenda. It’s time for new leadership, with real plans to unite Illinoisans and move this state forward. I will be that leader for Illinois.”
