Local Lawmakers React To State Budget Agreement

Local lawmakers are reacting to a package of budget bills that would increase taxes in Illinois.
 
State Sen. Chapin Rose (right) says these bills do not fix the root problems in Illinois. They do not fix the spending problem and jeopardize schools opening in the fall.
 
 
Recently appointed Senate Minority leader Sen. Bill Brady also could not support the bill and calls it incomplete. He echoes the sentiments of Sen. Rose and says Illinois still has issues that need to be resolved.
 
 
Sen. Rose is the ranking member of the Senate Appropriations Committee and was one of the members appointed by his caucus to negotiate the budget. He indicates they were making good progress through the weekend and then Speaker Mike Madigan started calling budget bills in the House.
 
 
Sen. Brady is still hopeful a budget deal can still be finished.
