Illinois state lawmakers pass $1,600 pay raise for themselves (Chicago, Springfield: taxes, cost)

[Manterro]

They raise the taxes, give themselves a raise and then go on break. Madigan, Cullerton and the rest of the thieves should be wrapped in chains and thrown in the middle of Lake Michigan.



"Illinois citizens are sick and tired of secret insider budget deals that enrich Springfield politicians at the expense of hardworking taxpayers who are getting hit with massive tax increases," McSweeney said.

At least they did something beneficial for someone...

Until this week I was going to compliment the Dems that they managed to go months without inflicting harm on the working people and serving themselves at the people's expense. The Democratic party is like the b_stard child that everyone in the state is stuck paying support for.

To be paid for by all the new taxes. Are Democrats really okay with lots of new taxes and no cost cutting?

Unbelievable. Though I see crazy behavior from the state politicians in Raleigh, so maybe most of them are grifters.
