Senate President Don Harmon told reporters following a meeting with Gov. Pritzker and Speaker Welch that Senate Dems had “a full discussion of the budget” today and that’s their focus. On megaprojects: “We’ll talk when there’s something to talk about.”











79th & Essex, but the city is safe according to Mayor Johnson & his comrades. We have a serious culture problem in this city & it’s not the guns fault despite what Mayor Johnson says. Alderman Greg Mitchell of the 7th Ward is just there for a paycheck so he couldn’t care less.






.@GovPritzker's math isn't adding up (again), so lawmakers are most likely coming for your wallet (again). His latest budget proposal is facing a massive shortfall of up to $900 million. How does the state's political leadership plan to fix it? With $728 million in proposed tax hikes and fund sweeps. They are even floating a new fee on social media use that will inevitably raise prices in some form for consumers. Lawmakers are pushing appropriations for a $56 billion spending proposal, but they have conveniently forgotten to identify the funding sources to pay for it. Sadly, this is classic Illinois.
