After the largest-in-history $55.9 Billion FY 27 State Budget was signed into law by Governor Pritzker on June 16, House Minority Leader Tony McCombie issued the following statement:
“Governor Pritzker can’t campaign on affordability then govern through tax hikes. By signing this budget, he chose to put more spending and more pressure on family budgets instead of pursuing property tax relief, energy affordability, and economic growth.
Illinois families deserve real solutions to the rising cost of living, not nearly $56 billion in spending, $800 million in new taxes, and the same budget gimmicks that have failed taxpayers for years. The Governor is fully accountable for a budget that puts government growth ahead of affordability and leaves Illinois families paying the price.”
