Gov. Bruce Rauner renewed his call for economic and structural reforms Wednesday in the final budget address of his first term.
Speaking from behind the podium in the Illinois House Chambers, State Representative Dan Brady called it a good speech but said there will be some lengthy debate in the process.
Rauner said Illinois’ only chance at righting its fiscal ship is to enact the types of reforms he’s been pushing for since before he took office.
Rauner went on to say those reforms are reflected in what he called his balanced budget proposal for fiscal 2019.
