Illinois' Lack of Checks and Balances Under Pritzker
As the veto session begins, the consequences of a single-party state in Illinois are becoming increasingly evident.
The state's Democratic majority legislature holds significant power, and Governor Pritzker's recent actions have raised concerns. During the regular session, he signed 433 out of 436 bills into law, essentially acting as a "rubber stamp" for the Democratic majority.
- Only 59 of the 436 bills were introduced by Republicans.
- Less than 1% of bills received some type of veto.
A notable example is Senate Bill 2510, the fiscal year 2026 budget appropriation bill, which was passed within 24 hours. This rushed process highlights the recklessness of a dominant party creating a record $55.2 billion budget in secret and at the last minute.
Pritzker could have used his veto power to address the numerous bills that will make it harder for those living, working, and paying taxes in Illinois.
Author's summary: Illinois lacks checks and balances under Pritzker's leadership.
