The innuendo found in the second paragraph, suggesting that the fiscal woes of Illinois, for one, can be attributed to the fact that the Governor is a Republican is misleading in the extreme. Not until the final paragraph is it revealed that it was the Democrat-controlled Legislature that overrode Gov. Rauner's (R) veto to impose what just might be a fatal fiscal blow to Illinois' businesses and citizens at large.

As the video clip reveals, it's really hard to celebrate passing a budget that hammers residents and businesses with a $36 billion spending plan and $5 billion tax hike -- crafted by the dominant Democrat Legislature. Illinois was already hemorrhaging businesses and citizens, and now this further gouge can only exacerbate the misery.

Enough with the breathtaking lead-in innuendos that incriminates Republicans, only to confess the REAL crime, brought to you by Democrats, in the final paragraph. That's shoddy journalism.
