“That’ll be the fourth budget that I’ve participated in since coming here to Springfield. Here we are again: another year, another enormous budget dropped on us at the last minute. Full of promises and pork spending and who knows what else," he said. "I agree with tax cuts. I agree with supporting law enforcement. I agree with helping struggling families, but I will never agree with budgets being voted on by legislators who haven't read the bill."
Bailey said the budget had too many programs set aside for special insterests.
"Taxpayers deserve accountability here in Springfield. We must focus on fixing our fiscal mess and instituting sustainable spending reforms that prioritize middle class and working-class people over corporations and special interests," he said. "It’s time that we put an end to this nonsense of passing pork-filled budgets full of unread pages and empty promises and it’s time that we stand up for working people that you continually ask to carry the load for your woke unrealistic agendas."
"I’m voting no and I ask that anyone who values transparency and accountability join me.”
