McCombie Calls Budget Bill Another Spending Spree

After the $55.9 Billion State Budget was voted on in the Illinois House, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie issued the following statement:

"At a time when people are struggling with property taxes, rising energy bills, healthcare costs, and the overall cost of living, this budget continues the same pattern of higher spending, questionable revenue assumptions, fund sweeps, and budget gimmicks rather than addressing the real structural challenges facing Illinois families.

"Governor Pritzker and Democratic lawmakers continue to take from taxpayers, with no concern for affordability. The people of Illinois deserve transparency, accountability, and a government that puts their priorities ahead of partisan politics. Illinoisans want fiscal responsibility and growth, not another one-party spending spree."
