SPRINGFIELD, IL – State Representative Brad Halbrook (R-Shelbyville) released the following statement Tuesday after Governor Pritzker signed the record breaking $55.9 Billion FY2027 State Budget that was passed at 4:00 AM on the last day of session.

“Governor Pritzker can call this a balanced budget, but Illinois families know the truth. This budget relies on nearly $1 billion in new taxes and fees while continuing to spend hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars on programs for illegal immigrants and failing government agencies. Illinoisans are paying more and getting less, and that is nothing to celebrate.”
