TRUMP TAX WATCH: 6 Months In, Trump and Republicans Are Screwing Over Working Illinoisans

Springfield, IL — As Illinoisans endure 6 months of Donald Trump’s anti-working family and billionaires-first agenda, Democratic Party of Illinois Chair Lisa Hernandez released the following statement:

“Donald Trump promised he’d lower prices in Illinois. Instead, at the 6-month mark, he has pushed a budget that will cost Illinois households nearly $2000 to fill the pockets of the richest Americans. Thanks to Donald Trump, 536,000 Illinoisans could lose their health care coverage and 205,000 Illinoisans risk losing access to food assistance. After six months on the job, one thing is clear: if you’re not wealthy, Trump doesn’t want you to win.”
