budget address

“As the Trump administration continues to strip our state of the programs and benefits our communities need and deserve, Illinois refuses to lay down,” Preston said. #budget #governor #address

“As we begin the budget negotiating process, we need to focus on delivering a responsible and compassionate plan that addresses community concerns and uplifts families,” Meyers-Martin said. #budget #address #lawmaker

Gov. J.B. Pritzker is expected to deliver his budget address to both houses of the General Assembly later this month. #budget #senate #lawmakers

“The Governor’s revenue assumptions are overly optimistic and include $590 million in additional revenue from statutory changes that haven't even taken effect yet. He also proposes a $2 billion increase in spending, including at least a $150 million increase in illegal migrant spending while failing to account for existing fiscal challenges. #budget

Pritzker’s only bipartisan budget came during his first year in office – when a massive infrastructure package garnered dozens of GOP votes and helped create goodwill for some House Republicans to vote for the budget. #budgetaddress #illinois #pritzker

Pritzker, however, said the state is in a vastly improved financial condition than when he first entered office because Democrats who control the budgeting process have used surpluses in recent years to pay the state’s debts and pension obligations. #budget #illinois
