Governor Bruce Rauner delivered his annual State of the State Address to a joint session of the General Assembly in Springfield today, citing the challenges and opportunities facing Illinois as the state continues to grapple with a budget impasse that has now extended beyond 18 months.
State Representative Dan Brady (R-Bloomington) says despite the state’s condition the Governor pointed out some positives in his speech.
State Representative Bill Mitchell (R-Forsyth) said the most understated thing the Governor said today is that “we can do better.”
The Governor is scheduled to submit his budget plan to the General Assembly during his forthcoming Budget Address at the Capitol on February 15, 2017.
