Governor JB Pritzker has signed into law a $53.1 billion spending plan, marking the largest budget in Illinois state history. The Fiscal Year 2025 budget exceeds last year’s enacted budget by $2.6 billion and includes pay raises for politicians and $1 billion allocated for non-citizens. Additionally, Democrats have voted for $1 billion in tax increases to support this record-breaking expenditure.
