Several of Illinois’ lawmakers from both sides of the aisle seem to be growing more disillusioned with how the state is handling the taxpayer’s business.
Just after the governor gave his State of the State speech Wednesday Republican Representative John Cabello questioned why lawmakers didn’t stay and finish the people’s work.
Meanwhile during floor debate Thursday Democratic Representative Scott Drury said he’s not convinced there’s a will to get anything done.
Without a balanced budget, the state has been funding programs through court orders and consent decrees and is on pace to spend billions more than it’s expected to bring in.
