Sen. Sandack Reacts to Governor's State of the State
Sen. Sandack offers his reaction to Governor Quinn's State of the State address, says Governor missed the mark.
SPRINGFIELD, IL - State Senator Ron Sandack (R-Downers Grove) said Governor Quinn’s State of the State speech was full of uplifting rhetoric but missed the mark on addressing the issues facing the state.
“Gov. Quinn delivered a very uplifting and positive speech and from that perspective that’s appreciated,” Sen. Sandack said. “However, from a substance perspective, there was a large disconnect from reality considering very little time and attention was given to the current financial status and challenges that we now face in Illinois.”
Gov. Quinn presented several new spending programs and tax credits, which Sen. Sandack said are good ideas, but fell short of an explanation of how to fund the new initiatives.

“The ideas for new spending initiatives, which Gov. Quinn presented as investments, is a nice thought, but we can’t pay for our current programs and services,” Sen. Sandack noted. “His ideas for expansions and even more government spending completely missed the mark and showed a lack of understanding for the fiscal condition of our state.”
