A central Illinois lawmaker is looking ahead to the Governor's upcoming State of the State and budget addresses.

State Senator Sally Turner anticipates the Governor speaking about the successes of Illinois and his agenda for the year ahead. She notes there are not many details yet about even when the Governor will address a joint session of the general assembly. 

According to Sen. Turner, she believes we may or may not hear about the migrants coming from the southern border because it is largely a Chicago-area issue and says the federal government needs to step up and do its part.

When Gov. Pritzker does announce his State of the State and the budget address, which have been joint addresses the last few years, you will hear it in its entirety on WHOW and online at dewittdailynews.com.
