It's The Holiday Season..and the Democrats Dumped More Coal In Your Stocking
Veto Session 2025 Looked Like Something The GRINCH Would Have Planned For Christmas... tax increases, legal suicide, restricting law enforcement and more.
The far-left liberal insane Democrats did not let an opportunity to screw the taxpayers before the Holidays pass them up. While all of these insincere, hypocritical liberals were running around their districts yelling about how terrible the shutdown is (even though it is literally a Democrat shutdown), they went to Springfield and raised the cost of living for working families. These people are shameless- and it is time we stop tip-toeing around it.
Rep. Brad Halbrook published a nice cheat sheet for those looking for the after-action report from VETO:
Veto Session Cheat Sheet
During the first week of Veto Session, Democrat leaders took up political theater instead of working on real reform. Then during the second week, rammed through many important issues with little to no time to review or complete legislation to follow along with.
Here are some of the biggest issues tackled or delayed by the legislature this Veto Session:
Bills that passed both Chambers:
SB 25: Green New Energy Bill- Under the guise of “green energy,” Illinoisans will see higher rates, fewer good-paying private union jobs, and a less reliable energy supply.
SB 2111: RTA Bailout- Sweeps funds from the Road Fund to be designated for transit projects, equaling a nearly $2.5 B plan.
HB 576: Public Official Safety and Privacy Act- protects public officials from doxing or being at a security risk, redacting personal information that can be used to harm the public official or their family.
HB 1836: Clean Slate Act- allows certain crimes to be eligible for automatic sealing
SB 1911: Decoupling of state and federal taxes/ STAR bonds- decouples state and federal taxes, allowing state tax rates to exceed federal tax rates.
SB 1950: Physician assisted suicide- allows patients with certain terminal diagnoses to request medication to assist with ending their life.
Bills failed to pass both Chambers:
SB 1937: Pension reform bill- would work to fund the $144 B pension funding shortfall.
HB 575: Elections omnibus bill- would target different election requirements and procedures.
HB 3799: Homeowners’ insurance reform bill- would work to reform the homeowners’ insurance rate increases.
