The state has a budget. It’s the first full year spending plan that Republican Governor Bruce Rauner has ever signed. Rauner calls the budget one that moves the state forward. It also spends every dollar of tax increase that was vetoed by Rauner. He says there is nothing wrong with campaigning against more tax dollars but then turning around and spending them.

 

 

 

Many of those extra dollars are going to increase education funding.
