Rep. Blaine Wilhour believes we have to hold the Governor and the majority party accountable for bad budgeting practices. He will continue to fight for a responsible, transparent budget that reflects the priorities of our citizens. Governor Pritzker’s proposed budget this year includes:
💰 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
💰 $1 billion in new taxes and other budget gimmicks
