Ramming through a state budget at the last minute is drawing the ire of a pair of central Illinois State Senators.

Illinois Democrats pushed through a state budget that roughly spends a billion more than it is expected to draw in revenues next year. State Senator Chapin Rose says this is the playbook for Illinois Democrats.

Sen. Sally Turner was disappointed to not hear anything about paying down the State's pension debts. The first-term Lincoln Republican was surprised to receive the budget so late in the process then to have to turn around and vote on it so quickly.

Redistricting was also a topic among the central Illinois Republicans. Additionally, both Turner and Rose blasted lawmakers for not tackling issues within the Department of Employment Security. Rose mentioned the sex education reforms and the additional changes to the FOID card system.
