- Balancing the Budget
- Excerpt: "For far too long politicians in Springfield have been serving the needs of special interests and leaving us with the bill. Even after passing a massive tax hike, the State of Illinois is still faced with a structural deficit as well as billions of dollars of unpaid bills"
