Lawmakers concerned about new spending in Pritzker’s budget proposal – Center Square

Pritzker's $49.6 billion spending request is an increase of nearly $3 billion from last year's proposal. It includes a nearly billion dollar boost for education. That includes allotting $250 million toward early childhood education, with increased pay for child care workers and added preschool slots.
