Sen. Turner pushes back on taxes and immigrant healthcare in role on budget negotiation team – NPR Illinois

The governor's proposed budget calls for $182 million to support the influx of asylum seekers. But state Sen. Sally Turner, a member of the Senate Republicans' Budget Negotiation Team, suspects the total cost will be much higher, but isn't clear where that money could be hidden. “Just show us where that is in the budget so we can understand what your ideas are and where you are coming from and what areas within the different agencies that you are taking the money from,” she said.
