“For decades Illinois has been entangled in Chicago style politics with its corrupt politicians employing ‘pay to play’ tactics to advance their political careers. Their mismanagement of state government has caused Illinoisans to suffer under the highest property taxes in the country, failing schools, ballooning budgets, crippling business growth, and opportunity prompting many to leave the state. I say that it’s time to R.I.S.E. out of our suffering for a New Beginning!,” said Wallace.
The appointment takes effect immediately.
