It is frustrating how the budget proposal was put forth, according to State Sen. Dale Fowler (R-Harrisburg), especially because he says it has not presented any support for employers who grapple to exist every single day.
“Disappointingly, the budget proposal put forth today is out-of-balance and does nothing to help businesses and job creators of this state who continue to struggle day by day,” Fowler said.
Fowler said that in creating his budget plan, Gov. J.B. Pritzker has totally forgotten to consider what the economy looks like, make headway, and fuel its growth. He forgot who actually gives a fair share of revenue in the state, according to Fowler.
“Illinois needs a budget that fights for our business community and works to create economic opportunity,” Fowler remarked. “Especially here in Southern Illinois, where the backbone of our business community is locally-owned, small businesses. We have to be committed to providing relief and assistance to those who were hit hardest by repeated shutdowns and rigid restrictions.”
Fowler wanted to have a robust roadmap and leadership for Illinoisans’ recovery from the economic hardships, which he said he is committed to.
"Moving forward, I will continue to advocate for economic development and job creation in Southern Illinois."
