Illinois House Republican leaders are calling for a balanced budget and a voice in budget negotiations. House Minority Leader Jim Durkin believes the news that the state received 1.5 billion dollars more than expected in tax revenue last month shows a new spending plan can be crafted without new taxes or tax increases for this year and the future..... 

The Office of Management and Budget has revealed Illinois received more than $4.1 billion of individual and corporate income tax revenue last month. 

That's up 38% from April 2018.
