Pritzker wants to spend record amount but needs $898M in tax hikes to do it – Illinois Policy

"Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker will set another state record if his $52.7 billion budget for 2025 is passed. He described it as 'tight' as well as 'focused and disciplined.' But it relies on $898 million in new taxes. It is nearly $13 billion more than the state budget when he took office. So, yes, it’s focused and disciplined – as much as sailors on leave."

Divide the 898M amongst those who voted for Pritzger last time and see if he ever gets elected again.

If passed, we all know there’s not one politician, especially Democrats that are going to say no.
