Obama’s presidential library will be funded by Illinois taxpayers to the tune of $100 Million! Not much of a shocker there. Obama will scam anyone and everyone for as much as he can take them for, and his corruption-overrun home state of Illinois is no different, it’s just easier to steal from because everyone running the state of Illinois is corrupt.
The George Bush Presidential Library was mostly privately funded by public donations, unlike Obama’s library which will be built with money stolen from the People of Illinois.
Even though many presidential libraries are privately funded by donations, the ultra-corrupt Illinois Legislature approved spending $100 million of taxpayer money to fund Obama’s library, which will leave Illinois residents on the hook, without any say in the matter.
To make matters worse, House Speaker Mike Madigan said that they will probably ask for more taxpayer money, using “skills that I’ve developed in the legislature to persuade people to do things they don’t want to do”
Illinois residents should stand up to the crime and corruption that oozes from their state, and stop Obama from stealing another $100 Million, if not more, from their pockets.
On Thursday, a committee in the Illinois Legislature approved a plan to spend $100 million in taxpayer funds to help build a presidential library for Barack Obama. While libraries for Bill Clinton and George W Bush were entirely funded by private donations, the Illinois proposal would, perhaps fittingly, build the Obama library on a foundation of public funds.
The proposal for the appropriation of $100 million in public funds is backed by House Speaker Mike Madigan, which almost ensures its passage. Madigan is not only the powerful Speaker of the House, he is chair of the state Democrat Party as well. His daughter is the Attorney General of the state.
“The state of Illinois will spend over $1 billion in construction this year alone, so $100 million is not out of line,” Madigan said after the House Executive Committee approved the funding plan in a unanimous vote. “It’s clearly a good investment for the future.”
Illinois currently has the lowest bond rating of any state. Its unfunded pension liabilities are over $100 billion and it has over $6 billion in unpaid bills. While the legislature considers spending $100 million for an Obama library, it is also considering a measure to permanently increase income taxes. Madigan also backed a ballot initiative to institute a “millionaire tax,” although that proposal was ultimately withdrawn.
Madigan did not rule out appropriating additional public funds to support the Obama library. He said he would use “skills that I’ve developed in the legislature to persuade people to do things they don’t want to do.”
