With Bruce Rauner set to give his budget address today, the JB Pritzker campaign released a new digital ad, “Unbalanced,” highlighting Rauner’s consistent failure to introduce a balanced budget.
Year after year, Rauner has brazenly lied about introducing a balanced budget, earning the failed governor a “pants on fire” rating from PolitiFact. The new ad highlights Rauner failing to meet his constitutional duty, repeatedly lying about it, and the devastating impact on Illinois’ finances.
“Rauner has not only failed to introduce a balanced budget, he lied about his failures while Illinois families paid the price,” said Pritzker communications director Galia Slayen. “For three long years, Bruce Rauner has disregarded his constitutional obligation and today, Illinoisans across the state should breathe a sigh of relief as Rauner concludes his final budget address.”
Pritzker is taking off the gloves, this is a good simple attack. This is the worst Governor in Illinois history, and that includes all that have gone to prison. I noticed this morning the ads against Pension Thief Bliss. Very telling and absolutely true. More of these are needed.

It’s a fair shot at the Governor. Imagine how negative the next eight months will be with two uber-rich candidates hurling mud at each other.

Politifact will rate that Ad as True.

I’m sorry, that snark doesn’t support Politfact’s agenda, so it is Pants on Fire.
