IL state lawmaker pushes back as analysis finds municipalities lost $10.9B – Center Square

State Rep. Steve Reick argued the issue reflects spending priorities at the state level, pointing to recent budget growth. “We’re running a $50-plus billion state budget,” he said. “We spent about a billion dollars to insure illegal immigrants. That’s a billion dollars that could have gone to local governments to ease their suffering.”
