Further expanding on his critique, on April 18, 2025, Wilhour suggested that if Illinois were equated to a business, it would face financial ruin, indicating "If Illinois were a business, it would be bankrupt—and you would already be fired and under investigation for gross incompetence. #CutTheFat #FirePritzker".
