state budget

“It does not add in any meaningful way to discuss any structural issues the state has. It’s a maintenance budget.” #budgeting

“This budget, pushed through under Governor Pritzker’s leadership—or lack thereof—includes more than $800 million in new taxes that directly impact hardworking Illinoisans and small businesses, while neglecting to tackle the serious financial issues that continue to cripple our state,” Gartner said. #spending

"It is my immense privilege to have voted for a new state budget that truly upholds the best interests of Illinoisans – at a time when Washington politicians would rather be a rubber stamp for the president." #funding

Tonight, Illinois families were handed a budget that raises taxes, increases spending, and ignores the voices of hardworking citizens. #budget

“We have to focus on the important things—budget, ethics, and voter disenfranchisement...” #illinois
