Illinois Democrats are under scrutiny for their fiscal decisions, following their use of one-time federal aid from the pandemic to justify long-term spending on various projects and the expansion of state programs. Critics had warned against such a move, predicting that once the pandemic funds dried up, it would leave a significant budget deficit.

This situation has led to accusations of financial mismanagement and a disregard for long-term fiscal sustainability.
