* The anti-Haas mailer in question is here. Isabel’s text exchange with 79th House District Democratic candidate Billie Morgan about his previous statement that he would’ve voted against the budget bill…

Morgan: While I can only consider the budget package from the perspective of a taxpayer who believes in fiscal responsibility, I’ve shared with both media and the neighbors I’ve talked with through my campaign that I approach tax increases with a healthy dose of skepticism. As a legislator, I would have had a lot of questions, and I would have wanted to see every alternative to get the best overall deal for our families. But Representative Haas has simply gotten in line behind her party bosses and opposed funding for domestic violence shelters, lifesaving cancer screenings, and the resources police need to get rapists off the streets—not just this year, but every year of her career in Springfield. There’s nothing fiscally responsible about constantly voting to block funding for the health and safety resources our families need.

Isabel: Would that be a no vote?

Morgan: My opponent didn’t bring investments back to the 79th District in the budget, I will always work to bring every dollar I can back here. The people of this district deserve better.

Isabel: That doesn’t answer my question.
