BUDGET SIGNING, HANGING AROUND THE DISTRICT, & MORE
Summer has kicked off for legislators. I have been busy making rounds in the district.
BUDGET SIGNING
Pritzker signs largest budget in state history; $53.1 billion spending plan includes tax hikes, politician pay raises, and a billion dollars for non-citizens. On Wednesday, June 5th, Governor JB Pritzker signed into law a partisan $53.1 billion spending plan, the largest budget in state history. The Fiscal Year 2025 budget is a whopping $2.6 billion more than last year’s enacted budget and includes pay raises for politicians and a staggering $1 billion for non-citizens. Moreover, Democrats voted for $1 billion in tax hikes to pay for their record-breaking spending.
House Republicans were united in our opposition to the Democrats’ massive tax-and-spend plan and unanimously voted against the FY25 budget and tax increases.
