IL Freedom Caucus Calls on Gov. Pritzker to Focus on Illinois Instead of Harboring Texas Fugitives (Springfield, IL) – The Illinois Freedom Caucus says it is time for Governor Pritzker to stop the media stunts and send the Texas Democratic lawmakers hiding in Illinois back to Texas.
In an effort to prevent a quorum in the Texas Legislature and delay important votes, Texas Democratic lawmakers are hiding out in Illinois at the invitation of Gov. JB Pritzker. The Illinois Freedom Caucus is calling on Pritzker to stop the kabuki theater and focus on the problems facing Illinois residents instead.
“Our offices are flooded with phone calls about rising utility bills – bills that have gone up thanks to JB Pritzker’s radical green energy policies. The unemployment rate in Illinois is one of the highest in the nation. And Illinois now has the highest property taxes in the country. We have serious problems in our state and what is our Governor doing about it? Not a thing. All he is doing is trying to bolster his fledgling presidential campaign by harboring truant, derelict legislators from Texas who refuse to do the job they were elected to do. JB Pritzker seems to have an obsession with aiding and abetting fugitives, whether they be criminal illegals or truant Democratic lawmakers.
The idea that these legislators would seek refuge in Illinois because of “partisan” legislative redistricting is the very definition of irony given that Illinois’ own maps look like a 3-year-old drew them in crayon. The faux outrage must be called out. If JB Pritzker and these fugitive lawmakers really cared about their constituents, they would go home and get back to work.”
