Pritzker 5-Year Fiscal Forecast Has $1.7B Revenue Increase – U.S. News and World Report

But the state continues to grapple with a structural deficit, a built-in imbalance of expenditures over revenue; In spite of the tightfisted monetary policy to which Pritzker lays claim, the GOMB notes the deficits will return in 2023. They’ll be much smaller than originally predicted, but will range from $406 million to over $1 billion in the five-year period.

Miller with do his thing….all of which will be a precursors to jb using financial good news because of giant fed bailout to give even more goodies to are vastly under compensated public sec heros. Like signing bill for teacher to get virtually unlimited paid time off for covid, etc…down on the farm dullard voter/taxpayer to lap it up as usual

Look at the near term windfall Pritzker is getting with Biden’s attack on oil and gas. Don’t see Pritzker offering up any relief to Illinois families.
