.@GovPritzker has proposed cutting the Local Government Distributive Fund (LGDF) — and that should concern every resident in communities like the @VillageofElburn. LGDF is not some abstract line item. It’s critical funding that goes directly back to our municipalities to help cover essential services like public safety, emergency response, and the growing list of unfunded mandates handed down from Springfield. When that funding is cut, the burden doesn’t disappear — it gets pushed onto local taxpayers. That means higher property taxes, reduced services, or both. Let’s be clear: this isn’t putting Illinois families first. This is shifting responsibility away from the state and onto hardworking residents and small towns that are already doing more with less. If the state needs to tighten its belt, it shouldn’t come at the expense of our local communities. Instead of cutting LGDF, Governor Pritzker should be looking at wasteful spending and pork projects in the state budget. Our towns like Elburn deserve support — not setbacks. It’s time to stand up for local communities and demand better from Springfield. #twill @mikereidjr @MayorBurns @DarrenBaileyIL @JeffWalterIL #ElburnIL 🇺🇸
