Campaign themes
2016
Drobinski's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Rod promises to focus on fiscal issues to foster economic development, cutting taxes and creating jobs. As a bi-partisan, Drobinski will work with anyone in Springfield who is committed to achieving those same goals. Rod understands that with Speaker Madigan at the helm, change will be slow and perhaps impossible. He is a supporter of Minority Leader Durkin. Rod is committed to restoring fiscal sanity and knows that we are taxed too much. It is necessary to re-evaluate our spending and cut it down substantially. Line by line, waste along with exploding entitlement programs must be slashed. We are scaring away employers at a time when we must be pro-business.[2] |
