In response to the Governor’s latest Executive Order creating the Illinois Accountability Commission, Illinois House Minority Leader Tony McCombie issued the following statement:
“Governor Pritzker’s so-called Accountability Commission is just another taxpayer-funded political stunt. He claims he wants immigration reform, but his own open-border policies and expanded Trust Act tell a different story.
“He talks about truth and accountability, yet under his watch, over 1,200 children have died in DCFS care and thousands more have been injured — where is that accountability?
“At this point, the Governor’s talking points are stale and predictable, the same tiring political theatrics to try and keep his name in the national spotlight. Illinoisans deserve a leader focused on results, not another headline or late-night soundbite.”
