District 86 (Crest Hill, Joliet, Rockdale, Elwood, Channahon) Illinois House Representative, Larry Walsh Jr. proves his lack of positive effect on the local and Illinois economy. As Will County, Illinois, is sitting at/near 10% unemployment and the State doesn't sit any better!
MASSIVE DEBT IS THREATENING ILLINOIS:
"Back in 1981, Illinois reported $164 million in debt service “interest” expense. By 2012, Illinois’ accumulating debt led to a reported $1.6 billion in interest expense — about 900% higher than in 1981, despite a 95% decline in general interest rates! To boot, Illinois has had a longstanding ‘balanced budget’ requirement in the state constitution, which theoretically constrained state borrowing." Learn More HERE!!!
STATISTICS DON'T LIE:
