Gov. JB Pritzker proposed a $40.7 billion state budget during his annual budget address Wednesday afternoon.
He dressed it up by dangling the prospect of a $1.4 billion revenue boost if voters approve a radical income-tax overhaul this fall. State Rep. Dan Brady is concerned about the idea of assuming there is money that is not there yet.
Illinois voters will vote on a progressive income tax system in November that would overhaul the current tax structure.
