JB Pritzker is an out-of-touch, trust fund billionaire whose failed leadership and extreme policies locked down our economy, decimated small businesses, and driven families and jobs out of our state.
As a result, gas prices are out of control, and families struggle to get their kids to events, work, or even groceries. These high gas prices are also making inflation worse, and all Pritzker has to offer is a slap in the face to hard-working families through a two-cent gas tax freeze until just after the election.
We must call for a special season to address Illinois families' rising gas and energy prices. We must revisit JB's extreme energy policies that will continue to raise utility rates on families, and we must cut the sales tax on gasoline in half, which would put revenue numbers back to normal while offering immediate relief on the costs of cooling homes and provide approximately 25 cents a gallon of relief to Illinois families. It will also help lower shipping costs across Illinois to help lower the costs of groceries and necessities.
We need a Governor who understands working people and is focused on Illinois to provide relief and lift up families; it's just a shame JB is more focused on flying in his private jet to Europe and New Hampshire to push his extreme agenda and lift his national profile. We deserve better.
