Pritzker to present 8th budget as Illinois faces federal funding uncertainty – Capitol News IL

In the last two budgets, Gov. JB Pritzker and lawmakers have relied on targeted tax increases. Though the FY26 budget ultimately amounted to a $2 billion spending increase, most discretionary spending outside core areas increased by less than 1 percent. Pritzker also warned lawmakers last year that if they want to increase spending for a certain program, they must come up with a corresponding cut.

JB could stop funding illegals, suing to block release of records to cover up fraud, paying for transgender care for criminals , and not pay for tattoo removal for criminals. These are items that not “what all people in Il”want.
