Lawmakers to receive 5% pay raise after Gov. Pritzker signs largest state budget ever – Center Square

Republicans have spoken out against implementing any pay increase for lawmakers. “While Illinois families struggle, Gov. Pritzker decreased the politician pay [by] a paltry 0.5%. While this change may make it constitutional, it does not make it right," said House Minority Leader Tony McCombie. "House Republicans will continue to hold the majority party accountable to not only our constitutional rights but also to Illinois taxpayers.”
