The 2010 election season is already on us. Dough Whitley appeared before the Republican Assembly of Lake County on April 9th. Doug Whitley has a long resume in running companies, not for profit organizations, and for two years the Ill. Dept. of Revenue under Governor Jim Edgar.
Doug Whitley explained why he thought it was time for the Republicans to take back the Governor’s Office. Governor Quinn plans on raising taxes, without looking to trim any of the health care programs that Rod created or increased while he was governor. Our State government no longer responds to the needs of the public or business as it once did. The Federal Highway Department has expressed it does not think that the Ill. Dept. of Trans. is up to the job to get the stimulus projects completed. Our neighboring states are taking advantage of our bloated and weaken state government. Companies are being invited to move out of Illinois and cross the state line to lower taxes and less government bureaucracy. The Dems have only shown they plan on more of the same even without Quinn as governor.
Doug plans on turning this around by looking at all phases of state government and cutting what we can do without. He wants the state to assist companies in Illinois to grow and encourage other companies to move into our state. He wants government to work as the citizens of Illinois expect it to.
It is still too early to tell, but I think the Republican Party is off to a good start.
