As the Governor readies a budget address the Illinois GOP already has a counterattack to what JB Pritzker might suggest.

Pritzker will not ask lawmakers to approve any tax hikes – but he will be looking to close existing corporate tax loopholes and hold spending flat. House GOP Minority Leader Jim Durkin says it still amounts to a tax increase.

The Governor’s office is looking to claw back about $900 million from closing those loopholes.
