SPRINGFIELD – In response to the passage of the Fiscal Year 23 budget, State Senator John Connor (D-Lockport) released the following statement:
“This budget prioritizes Illinois being able to better weather future challenges. We paid down our bills to get our state on the right track, now we are helping families do the same.”
“The pandemic has demonstrated the necessity of a Rainy Day Fund, and the state has beefed up considerably under this budget. Taxpayers are also being saved billions of dollars through additional pension payments made in this budget.”
“We don't know what issues next year will bring, so it is better to be prepared, and the budget provides Illinois with extra security.
