Increased spending, growing demands, fund transfers part of Illinois’ budget process – Center Square

State Rep. Curtis Tarver was critical of other fund transfer powers Gov. JB Pritzker has been granted in prior budget years. He noted the hundreds of millions of tax dollars being used for non-citizens and union contracts. “Let it not be just for a union contract, let it not just be for asylum seekers, if you’re going to actually have that type of flexibility, let it be for all the people of Illinois who have very specific and unique needs,” Tarver said.
