IL Dems’ reckless spending spree sent stimulus checks to death row inmates

The Washington Free Beacon reports inmates, including those serving life sentences, received more than $1 billion in stimulus checks.  

Republican lawmakers warned Democrats this would happen as the American Rescue Plan was debated, but Democrats voted for it anyway.

NRCC Comment: “Sean Casten, Raja Krishnamoorthi, Bill Foster, and Lauren Underwood ignored warnings from their colleagues and voted to send convicted murderers and rapists stimulus checks. Illinois voters can’t trust these Democrats to safeguard their hard-earned dollars.”  – NRCC Spokeswoman Courtney Parella
