A central Illinois lawmaker is disappointed in the priorities Gov. JB Pritzker has for his latest budget proposal.

State Sen. Chapin Rose says the state prioritizing illegal immigrants to the tune of a billion dollars and likely cutting funding to social services where the most vulnerable Illinoisans are is disappointing.

The Mahomet Republican says Illinois liberals complain about having funding cut from politicians in Springfield and continue to vote to send them to Springfield to cut their funding.

According to Sen. Rose, it is the moral obligation of society to take care of the people who through no fault of their own, rely on the generosity and compassion of their communities and state to care for them.

Sen. Rose says the Governor is proposing grocery tax relief but the same proposal wants to increase taxes in other areas. The central Illinois Republican did credit Gov. Pritzker for his ideas to break up DCFS and looks forward to passing legislation he started to do something similar.
