Illinois' Lack of Checks and Balances Under Pritzker
As the veto session begins, the consequences of a single-party state in Illinois are becoming increasingly evident.
The state's Democratic majority legislature holds significant power, and Governor Pritzker has been criticized for not using his veto power effectively. During the regular session, he signed 433 out of 436 bills into law, with less than 1% of bills receiving some type of veto.
- Only 59 bills were introduced by Republicans out of the 436 that passed both chambers.
- The fiscal year 2026 budget appropriation bill, Senate Bill 2510, was passed within 24 hours, highlighting the recklessness of the dominant party.
The need for Pritzker to fix the state budget after the fact shows the recklessness of a dominant political party putting a record $55.2 billion budget together at the last minute and in secret.
Pritzker's actions have raised concerns about the lack of checks and balances in Illinois' government.
Author's summary: Illinois lacks checks and balances under Pritzker.
