Governor Pritzker’s Budget Will Have More Needs Than Available Dollars
(Springfield, IL) — Illinois Governor JB Pritzker is going to disappoint some people when he delivers his first budget address this week. The new governor is not going to have enough money to pay for all of the state’s programs and past due bills. Lawmakers and policy wonks in Springfield are trying to tamp-down expectations ahead of the governor’s speech on Wednesday. But many expect Pritzker to tout legalized marijuana and legalized sports gambling as a way to get Illinois out of its financial mess.
