A few more details about the new budget proposal Gov. Pritzker unveiled Wednesday:
💰 A $2.29 billion increase from last year’s enacted budget
💰 A $775 million shortfall for FY25 based on existing revenue and the Governor’s spending plan
💰 Better healthcare benefits for non-citizens than most taxpayers receive
💰 More than $1 billion in new taxes and other budget gimmicks
We must hold the Governor and the majority party accountable for bad budgeting practices and to continue to fight for a responsible, transparent budget that reflects the priorities of our citizens.
