Remembers Where Walker Stood


Editor, Journal:

Mark Walker seems to be starting off his campaign just as he did when he ran against David Harris. Mike Madigan’s spokesman, Steve Brown, backed up Walker’s very vile and ludicrous claims against David Harris, who is a great man and an outstanding state representative. Walker is running another campaign of lies and character assassination which is straight out of the current Democrat playbook. Walker seems to forget that we know he overwhelmingly supported, as a state representative, ever more tax increases, higher spending, and extra added borrowing. His profligate spending votes cost Illinois. We know Walker type budgets are why Illinois state bonds are only one step above junk status (the state has to pay more interest in order to get those bonds sold). He won’t identify as a Democrat because he knows Democrats have run this state for many years now and have put Illinois in the position as a state that more people flee from than from any other state (United Van Lines/builderonline.com). Walker totally supports JB Pritzker who wants more and more taxes (for example, a graduated income tax which will definitely affect the middle-class Illinois taxpayer that Democrats always claim to defend and a mileage driven tax which would use a Big Brother government issued mileage tracker to make sure you pay). Springfield under Madigan and people like Walker who served Madigan before want even more and more taxpayer revenue to spend more and more. The choice is obvious. Eddie Corrigan stands for real reform and real tax relief. We know where Walker has stood. His record proves it.
