Totally unsustainable is how a local lawmaker describes the proposed spending plan by Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker.

State Sen. Chapin Rose points out it is interesting his office was projecting a two-billion dollar deficit in this budget, but now the Chicago Democrat says on paper, it doesn't look too bad.

The Mahomet Republican says his address to Illinoisans wasn't a budget address but a campaign launch.

One of the critical points of the Illinois budget for Illinois Republicans has been the funding of benefits for illegal immigrants. According to Sen. Rose, the Governor is proposing small-scale reforms to those benefits to appease people upset about knowing it isn't going to pass in Illinois.

Sen. Rose indicates there is little in the budget this year that provides relief for Illinois citizens. He points to property tax relief and woefully underfunding the developmentally disabled. 

Lawmakers have until May 31 to approve a budget in Illinois.
