MORTHLAND STATEMENT ON BRADY JOBS PLAN

PORT BYRON – Rich Morthland, member of the Rock Island County Board and Republican candidate for State Representative in the 71st House District, releases the following statement on Senator Bill Brady’s jobs plan for Illinois:

“I applaud Senator Bill Brady and his staff for putting together this jobs plan.  Senator Brady’s plan is comprehensive, and will do what needs to be done to jump-start Illinois’ economy and create jobs.  His plan focuses on creating a stable tax climate, long-term strategic planning, creating a competitive playing field, and restoring accountability and transparency to the state budget process.  These are all things we desperately need in Illinois.

“Senator Brady’s plan recognizes how the poor political decisions of the Blagojevich-Quinn years have created this mess.  His plan seeks to fix these mistakes.  During the Blagojevich-Quinn years, we have lost over 440,000 jobs in Illinois.  We rank 48th in the nation for economic performance.  This shouldn’t be the case. Illinois has such great natural advantages – a hard-working populace, a great location at the heartland of America, and the finest farming land on the planet.  We should be doing much better, and under a Brady Administration, we will.

“Governor Quinn and House Speaker Michael Madigan want more of the same.  They want to continue to failed policies of the Blagojevich Administration and add more anti-jobs policies of their own.  Governor Quinn and Speaker Madigan already have a plan to increase taxes, spend like crazy, and drive businesses out of Illinois.  Those plans will hurt hardworking Illinois families and will only make our economic situation worse.

“Fortunately, we have a choice.  Today, I am proud to say that I am choosing to follow Senator Brady.  I support his jobs plan.  Through stabilizing taxes and creating a better climate for businesses, we will fix the damage and rebuild our economy.”
