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
House Republicans support a balanced budget without tax hikes and will continue to fight for responsible state spending which prioritizes taxpayers and our most vulnerable citizens.
