As Spring Session Winds Down, Illinois Legislators Have Yet to Present a Budget
Manage episode 363774312 series 3087016
With Friday being the last scheduled day for the spring session at the Illinois Statehouse, lawmakers have yet to reveal a state budget for taxpayers to review. Last year's budget was over 3,000 pages and was presented by the Democratic majority to Republicans at the last moment, giving the public no time to review it. Opposition is growing over a piece of legislation advancing in Springfield that would allow for punitive damages in wrongful death cases. Chicago remains the nation’s third most populated city, but it was No. 2 in the total number of people leaving the city limits.
