The new state budget, signed into law last week by Democrats, includes significant financial measures. The budget features a billion dollars in tax increases, pay raises for politicians, and an additional billion dollars allocated for spending on non-citizens.

House Republicans opposed the budget, citing concerns over its scale and fiscal impact. They have pledged to continue advocating for fiscal responsibility and the priorities of Illinois residents.
