Governor JB Pritzker revealed that state funds would be directed to the ongoing migrant crisis in Chicago; House Minority Leader Tony McCombie released the following statement in response:
“For two weeks of veto session, legislative leaders were in Springfield and available to discuss any proposed solutions to this migrant “emergency” House Republicans have been flagging for months, but instead are now just learning of these “big ideas” for the first time through the press. The legislature and Illinois taxpayers deserve a voice in the policies and funding of migrant programs.”
