Republicans remain upset over Governor's budget process

The budget passed a few weeks back by Illinois lawmakers wasn’t proof-read. The spending plan lacked a few key dates in the text to spell out just when spending on some state programs could begin. So it was with the stroke of the pen, an amendatory veto, that Governor JB Pritzker fixed it and sent it back to lawmakers to re-approve it. Republicans didn’t support the measure the first time and this time around were upset about the sloppy way it was put together.

 

House GOP member Mike Marron says mistakes were made because the budget arrived at the last minute.

 

 

Republicans don’t have a particular fix right now – but say the budget should be ready to be viewed for a few days before voting to approve it or not. The House and Senate used Democratic majorities to approve the changes.
