In Springfield, my opponent has been part of the problem, not part of the solution as he claims.

Below are some facts about my opponent:

Dan Kotowski voted THREE times to fund Rod Blagojevich’s 17% pay raise.

He also took $100,000 in donations from Blagojevich's campaign co-chairman.

Increased a local sales tax on gas by 33%

Increased a local sales tax on food items by 25%

Increased a local sales tax on prescription drugs by 25%

Increased the real estate transfer tax

Took state employee pension funds to pay state bills

Here is the Difference

Mike Sweeney is the ONLY candidate...  That will refuse to vote for or ACCEPT pay raises.

Mike Sweeney is the ONLY candidate... That will protect small businesses against Gov. Blagojevich's policies of driving jobs and opportunities to surrounding states.

Mike Sweeney is the ONLY candidate... That will HOLD THE LINE ON TAXES by reigning in out of control spending.

Mike Sweeney is the ONLY candidate...That will demand that the State pay existing bills before spending more tax dollars.

- The ONLY candidate in this race that will return common sense to Illinois Government
