Working for Illinois Caucus

Democratic Oswego State Representative Stephanie Kifowit says the state’s spending plan addresses many important priorities.

Kifowit says the budget contains good investments in education and veterans programs.

Kifowit says having the budget on file for three days ahead of a vote in the Illinois House is a first for her time in the General Assembly.

The Illinois budget proposes to spend about $50.4 billion. It was approved in the Illinois Senate and House last week with no Republican votes.

Governor J.B. Pritzker has said that he’ll sign the spending plan into law.
